Phishing Email Reporting Tool

When do I use it?

Click the Phishing Alert Button (PAB) if you believe you have received a phishing email or any potentially dangerous email. Any emails you report using the PAB will be automatically deleted from your inbox. The emails you report will also be forwarded to a designated contact within your organization for analysis (Technology Services staff).

**The PAB should only be used to report emails you believe to have malicious intent. If you are receiving spam or marketing emails, you should not use the PAB to report these. You can delete these types of emails.

Note: Phishing is an email sent from an Internet criminal disguised as an email from a legitimate, trustworthy source.

How do I use it?

Once the PAB add-in is installed, you will see clickable "Phish Alert"  text appear in any opened email.

NEW: Most Outlook clients have been updated so there is now a Phish Alert Report  button in the toolbar (seen below):

To Report an Email as a Phishing Email:

Step 1: Click the Phish Alert text to open a drop-down screen.

Step 2: A prompt will ask you if you want to report the email as a phishing email; complete the operation by clicking the "Send To It" or "Phish Alert" button to report the email.

Note: The email you report will be forwarded to an email address designated by your organization and then deleted from your inbox. If you report an email in error, you can retrieve the email from your Trash/Deleted Items.

Why should I use it?

Reporting emails will help our organization stay safe. The potential phishing emails you report are sent for analysis to your organization; your organization will now be aware  of which phishing attacks are able to reach their employee inboxes. Once they are aware of possible vulnerabilities, they can better defend against them. You are an important part of the process of keeping your organization safe from cybercriminals. Stop, Look, and Think!
