Phish Reporting/Spam Reporting     

 

Audience – Tier 1, Tier 2

 

Description:

            This guide explains the process for how to handle suspected phishing emails and spam.

 

Procedure:

You are not trained in Cybersecurity, if you receive a ticket asking if something is Phishing or Spam you are NOT to tell them yes or no. You are to advise them that they should do two things if they believe something is phishing. 1st is to reach out to the supposed sender via a new email/teams chat and confirm whether the email was from them or not; do NOT reply to the existing email. 2nd use the phish report button to alert the appropriate parties. 

 The same goes for SPAM; EXCEPT you will advise them that if they believe an email to be spam, to use the block sender/mark as junk option while right-clicking the email in the message list.
