Suspicious actions that haven't been previously identified are called what?

Understanding how these actions are categorized by timing helps. When suspicious behavior isn’t identified at the outset and only becomes apparent later through review or new information, those actions are described as undetected. The question is asking for what you call suspicious actions that weren’t identified previously, so the term that fits best is undetected activities. Suspicious activity refers to actions deemed suspicious when they’re recognized, but not necessarily previously unseen. Credible evidence isn’t about whether something was identified as suspicious, and joint SAR filings describe collaboration on a report, not a label for unrecognized suspicious actions.
