Overview 

If you receive a phishing email, it can be reported to our Technology Services team by using the Phish Alert tool in Outlook.

Steps

  1. On the Outlook desktop  app, a Phish Alert Icon will be available on the Home Tab. The icon is an open envelope with a slip of paper and a reddish-orange fishhook.

    Note: The icon will only show if you click on the email to preview it on Outlook.
