Malicious emails from external parties will attempt to pose as trusted individuals, or groups, to gain access to your credentials. To aid us and the university to identify these malicious parties, CITE has provided a Phishing Alert tool to place the email in quarantine and help identify any other attempts coming from similar emails. This article will be a guide for Microsoft Windows users to utilize the tool within Outlook.
1. Open the Outlook Desktop App.
2. In the top right of the application, you will find the "Phish Alert Report"
3. Click the report button and the email will be automatically reported and quarantined.
4. Continuing to report these emails will help the bots identify similar phishing attempts.
Note: The Phish alert button is not compatible with OSX devices so if you have a Mac please use the Outlook web application on a browser to access the report phishing feature.
