Report Phishing Emails
Phishing is more prevalent than ever, so it is extremely important to stay vigilant and report phishing emails when you find them. Additionally, if the phishing attempt is part of our KnowBe4 training it will give you immediate feedback.
Our system is designed so that when one user reports an email as phishing it will remove that email from the inbox of all other users in the organization. When you take action it helps everyone stay safe.
Phish Alert App
Microsoft gives too many ways to mark an email as phishing. Make sure you are using the correct App and following the process described.
Click the App icon in Outlook
You should find this icon at the top right of an email you received or on the toolbar. It may be in the "more" section of the three dots.
The app we want to use is called Phish Alert and this is what it looks like:
If you don't see that app click Add apps +
Search for Phish Alert (made by KnowBe4, the same company that does our cybersecurity training)
You'll find the app in the Search Results. Just click to add it to your Outlook.
When you get a suspicious email just click this button to report it.
