Suspicious.cloud.13 Part 2

Today, Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac posted two "Threat successfully deleted" messages.

QUESTIONS
I would like to understand more than what's stated in the previous "suspicious.cloud.13" post ( Suspicious.cloud.13 is a cloud based detection by bitdefender which is independent of signature based detection that is created by malware researchers … read more about cloud based detection on https://www.kaspersky.com/resource-center/definitions/cloud-antivirus ,"(sic) --

What's is the Suspicious.Cloud.13 at a high level?
What is it trying to do so I can know what I should look for if it is successful?
Do I need to worry about the other emails in those boxes (and the others) being infected?

Here are the messages for reference…

Thanks, Gjoksi — will do.

The general audience may be interested in another question: based on the Notification message, why is the cloud-based detection by BitDefender scanning my system along with the desktop BitDefender?

Most antimalware programs today, not just Bitdefender, use a combination of three core security measures: signatures, behavior blocker, and cloud-based scanning. Signatures help detect known threats by matching files to a database of malware. Behavior blocker add another layer by watching for suspicious actions that could signal new or unknown malware. Finally, cloud-based scanning strengthens these measures by connecting the antimalware software to a vast, real-time online database, allowing it to catch emerging threats quickly and efficiently, without relying solely on device resources. Together, these three layers provide a comprehensive approach to malware detection and protection.
