Report Phish

Report Phish

When you receive a suspicious email, use Outlook’s Report Phishing feature. Reporting a message automatically alerts Seton Hall IT Security and triggers an investigation. A single report from you can help protect hundreds or even thousands of accounts from being compromised.

To report phishing emails in Outlook, use the built-in Report feature available on multiple platforms:

Outlook Desktop

  1. There are 3 options to report an email as a phish from the desktop client.

  • In your inbox, right click the email to report and towards the bottom of the menu list that appears click Report with the red shield icon and select Report Phishing from the new menu that appears.
