-  Detects ransom-extortion prompt injection attacks that instruct an agent to (1)
-  forward email or file contents to an attacker-controlled address, (2) delete the
-  sent/forwarded items to destroy evidence, and (3) send the victim a ransom note
-  with payment instructions (wire transfer / IBAN / cryptocurrency). The invariant
-  artifact chain is: external-email-forward + delete-sent-items + ransom-note-send
-  with financial-transfer demand. Derived from AgentDojo indirect-pi-ransom-extortion
-  corpus (2026-06, N=2). High-severity: successful execution causes data loss,
-  privacy breach, and financial extortion.
