[Bug][cyber] Safety filter wrongly blocks defensive incident-response analysis of a business email compromise (req_011CcPHa7oMYQ16JAGZ7NYTb)

Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

This message was flagged during an active incident-response investigation into a business email compromise, where the operator was analyzing how and when a colleague's account was breached in order to scope the damage and remediate. The request involved only defensive forensic analysis of an attack that had already occurred against the operator's own organization — identifying the timeline, entry vector, and responsible party — with no offensive tooling, exploit development, or capability that could harm a third party. Blocking standard victim-side breach investigation prevents legitimate, authorized security work and forces disruptive session rewinds mid-investigation.
