Going suspect while cloaked- combat probing?

My scanner went suspect last night without engaging any offensive modules on anything- he was snugly cloaked. I did combat probe a pod down, but can this really cause a suspect flag? Lowsec.

Any other reasons I might have overlooked? He was in fleet with me while I did bad things, but afaik the flags don't work like that.

On a side note, standings on the overview and chats seem to have been pretty buggered lately, not sure if related.

Does anyone have killrights on you ?

My first thought is that someone does, and they activated them at a really stupid time.

Good guess, but I'm not aware of any kill rights on that character, he has not been involved in criminal activity in Empire space. Would there be a notification or log entry for someone activating the rigths?

And according to this:

Activating kill rights

When a kill right is available to you against another pilot, it must be activated. This is done by clicking on the target in space or on your overview, and clicking on the cross hair icon in the "Selected Item" window located above the overview by default.

If the kill right belongs to another player he may have requested that ISK be required to activate the kill right, the cost will be displayed in the activation window. Any price requested for the kill right is immediately transferred upon the kill right being activated. Activating the kill right will enact a Suspect flag on the target, making him a legal target to all pilots in his vicinity for 15 minutes. If the kill right activation does not result in a kill, then the kill right will not be considered as used and will continue to be available for activation.

the kill right should still be there, as no kill happened? I just stayed cloaked.

Nullbears have recently managed to farm voodoo dolls shaped like covops frigs. Now they can immediately make you go criminal the moment you cloak.

Goddamn nullbears

However, I will commission pink and fluffy nullbear dolls from the Wife before voodoo is explicitly declared as an exploit.
