Throwaway TLD in link — .xyz / .top / .click / .tk credential-harvest landing page

href-suspicious-tld

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

An `<a href>` in the body points at a hostname on a cheap/free TLD with overwhelming abuse rates (.xyz, .top, .click, .tk, .loan, .work, .icu, .cyou, and ~25 others from Spamhaus DBL data). Common multi-stage phishing pattern: a clean-looking sender delivers the message while the actual credential-harvest page lives on a throwaway host registered minutes ago for pennies. Legitimate brands never host login/checkout on these TLDs — the reputation cost is too high and the registration-to-suspension window is too short. URL-level sibling of the sender-level `suspicious-tld` signal.

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.
