How Does The Report Phishing Button Work?
If you receive an email that you believe is a phishing attempt, open or preview the message and then click the “Report Phishing” button. The suspicious email and its header information are bundled and forwarded to Information Security in a way that preserves headers and other information needed for threat analysis and response. The reported message will be automatically deleted from your inbox.
If you accidentally report a message, you can find the email in the Deleted Items folder.
By reporting suspicious email messages, you help reduce the success of potential malicious campaigns.
