How Gorganizer detects this
Fake "your Ring / Nest / SimpliSafe / Arlo / Wyze / Eufy / ADT / Vivint smart-home camera / doorbell / alarm has been accessed by an unauthorized device — verify your account within 24 hours or your home security will be suspended" email targeting consumer smart-home owners. Ring 10M+ users; Nest 10M+; SimpliSafe 4M+; Arlo 2M+. Distinct from `fake-apple-family-sharing-invite-lure` (iter 923, iCloud family) and `fake-mychart-patient-portal-breach-lure` (iter 934, medical portal). The lure converts because: (1) smart-home devices ARE genuinely breached in public incidents — Ring 2019-2020 credential-stuffing breaches; Wyze 2023 camera-feed exposure; SimpliSafe 2022 credential-stuffing. Users recognize the real-breach-notification template. (2) Threat framing "home security suspended / alarm disarmed / camera compromised" triggers deeply-rooted physical-safety anxiety — especially for households with small children or elderly parents. Post-compromise: attacker WATCHES the live camera feed, MUTES or DISARMS the alarm system, and manipulates geofencing to know precisely when the home is unoccupied for a physical-world burglary handoff. Smart-home-breach-to-physical-burglary has been documented by Krebs + Ars Technica in 2024-2025. Fires when body references Ring / Nest / SimpliSafe / Arlo / Wyze / Eufy / Vivint / ADT / smart-home / home security / doorbell camera / security camera / alarm system AND contains unauthorized-device / home-security-suspended / verify-account / disarm / 24-hour urgency. Excludes ring.com, nest.com, google.com, simplisafe.com, arlo.com, wyze.com, eufy.com, eufylife.com, adt.com, vivint.com, nestlabs.com, amazon.com. Auto-classified as danger via the `-lure` suffix.
False-positive guard
Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a threat-tier signal — it adds a strong contribution to the trash score. The full pipeline still requires convergence across multiple modules + a margin over the safety floor before deletion happens, and Gmail's trash (30-day recovery) is always used — never permanent delete.
About the scoring engine
Gorganizer's scoring engine emits over 1,800 signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.
Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
