WarningOther

Fake Google Drive / Google Docs shared-document notification sent from a non-Google domain — credential-harvest cross-domain phish; the "open in Drive" CTA leads to a lookalike Google login page. Real Google Drive sharing mail originates from google.com / drive.google.com / docs.google.com only.

What this tier means

Warning signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. Contributes to the trash score but is not by itself sufficient.

How Gorganizer detects this

Fake Google Drive / Google Docs / Google Sheets shared-document or "invited you to edit" notification sent from a non-Google sending domain (From / Reply-To / link domains do not align with google.com / drive.google.com / docs.google.com) directing the recipient to a "view document" or "open in Drive" link — credential-harvest cross-domain phish targeting Google Workspace credentials. Real Google Drive sharing communications originate exclusively from google.com / drive.google.com / docs.google.com with DMARC-aligned signing; shared-link CTAs always terminate at *.google.com / *.googleusercontent.com, never at third-party domains. Google Drive impersonation is a top-3 file-sharing phishing lure per Vade 2024 Phishers Favorites and Cofense 2024 PDC. Distinct from onedrive-share-cross-domain (Microsoft) and dropbox-share-cross-domain (Dropbox) — this targets the Google Drive / Google Docs / Google Sheets / invited-you-to-edit / open-in-drive pretext with off-domain href. Detection: Google Drive / Docs / Sheets brand vocabulary + sender or link domain ≠ google.com / drive.google.com / docs.google.com + no DMARC alignment. Trash score: +4.

False-positive guard

Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a warning-tier signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. It contributes to the trash score but never triggers deletion on its own. Gorganizer requires multiple signals + a margin over the safety floor before any email is moved to trash.

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.
