Description
**Bug Description**
I was trying to obfuscate my own Go binary to protect it from reverse engineering, cracking, and patching. This is my own paid software, and I simply asked for help making the binary harder to crack or patch.
The message was immediately flagged as a cybersecurity violation. These false positives are becoming very frustrating.
In this project I keep hitting the same false flags, so I switched to another AI just to do a simple legitimate task. It is extremely annoying. I have a Go binary that is meant to be a paid product, and anyone can reverse-engineer it to crack or patch it. When I ask for help obfuscating the binary so it cannot be easily cracked or patched, the request gets flagged as cybersecurity-related. This is a serious problem.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported false positive with the request details and feedback ID a4cb7340-a084-43be-a7ac-b59b2dd8a1f1 on the stated Windows Terminal environment. Trace where the request is classified, then verify that this legitimate Go obfuscation request is no longer incorrectly flagged while malicious requests remain protected.
