HOWTO: Report a Phishing Email using the Report Phishing button

How do I report a phishing email?

If you see a phishing email, highlight the message in your inbox, and click the Report Phishing button or Forward as Attachment to @email. The phishing email is automatically moved from your inbox to the deleted items folder. The sooner you report, the faster Information Security can investigate and block a potentially harmful email from reaching others on the MGB network.

If the email is a part of the MGB's phishing training program, you get a email noting that you correctly identified a simulated phish. To learn more about the phishing training program, see KB0040756.
