Reporting Suspicious Emails to IT Security

As receiving suspicious emails becomes more common, it is important that these emails be reported.

If you have received a suspicious email, you can use the “Report Suspected Phishing” button enabled through Office365 to report it as phishing to Information Security. By using the button, the original email will be forwarded and include all the necessary information for Information Security to analyze the email and respond appropriately. 

Here is where you will be able to find the “Report Suspected Phishing” button and what it looks like.

Outlook Client on a Windows or Mac Device

Step 1: Click the ‘Report Suspected Phishing’ button.

Step 2: Click the 'Report Phishing Email' button to confirm the request to submit the information to IT Security.

Web Outlook Client

When you login to the web client or outlook web you can report the email in 2 different ways as shown in the screen shot below.
