Fake LinkedIn account-restricted, login-from-new-device, or InMail-locked alert sent from a non-LinkedIn domain demanding identity verification via the embedded link — credential-harvest cross-domain phish. Real LinkedIn security mail originates from linkedin.com only.
linkedin-account-alert-cross-domain
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 LinkedIn account-restricted, login-from-new-device, profile-locked, or InMail-action-required alert sent from a non-LinkedIn sending domain (From / Reply-To / link domains do not align with linkedin.com / e.linkedin.com) demanding the recipient verify identity or restore access via the embedded link — credential-harvest cross-domain phish. Real LinkedIn security communications originate exclusively from linkedin.com / e.linkedin.com with DMARC-aligned signing and always link back to linkedin.com itself, never to third-party domains. LinkedIn account compromise is high-value because the platform stores professional history, recruiter contacts, and is widely used as an OAuth-style identity provider. Distinct from generic account-suspended-phish — this targets the LinkedIn brand / profile-restricted / cross-domain From-link mismatch pretext. Detection: LinkedIn brand vocabulary (account restricted, profile locked, login from new device, verify identity) + sender or link domain ≠ linkedin.com / e.linkedin.com + no DMARC alignment. Trash score: +4. Source: GC1-R31; APWG LinkedIn phishing tracker 2025; LinkedIn Trust & Safety anti-phishing guidance; FTC professional-network impostor advisory.
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.
