Bug Description
False positive — cyber safeguard flagged legitimate fraud detection work Request ID: req_011CdEdUUHVqKbuizQxhZuri (also req_011CdEcYqaQhHFiHFJnneygR, same session) I'm the CFO/developer at a South African fintech (registered FSP, operating under NCA and POPIA). My task was defensive document forensics: analyzing customer-submitted bank statements for signs of tampering, using Python reconciliation scripts to validate balance chains and detect altered transaction values. This is fraud detection for credit vetting — standard compliance work for a regulated lender. The safeguard appears to have pattern-matched "document tampering / bank statement analysis" as offensive, but nothing in the request involved creating, altering, or forging documents, nor any exploitation, malware, or intrusion activity. Please tune the classifier for defensive fintech fraud-detection use cases, or advise whether the Cyber Verification Program is the right path for this workload.
