Report Phish

Phishing scams are designed to trick you into revealing sensitive personal information (e.g. passwords, credit card numbers, Social Security Number), which in turn can be used for fraud or identity theft. Phishing attacks are becoming increasingly more sophisticated which makes it challenging to discern truth from deception in our emails, text messages and phone calls.

To help keep you and the entire University community safe, the Department of Information Technology has enabled the “Report Phish” feature in all Outlook clients (desktop, web, mobile device). If you recognize that an email sent to you is a phishing email, report it!
