Wonder if an email you got is a fraud or scam?

Correctly report suspicious email to help yourself and your colleagues.

Report email when you:

• Get a fraudulent email, like a phishing attack
• Fell victim to a scam

Report it well:

If you found the email in your "Junk E-Mail" folder and did not click a link--delete it because we already recognize the threat.

Otherwise:

1. Select or open the suspicious email.
2. Forward the suspicious email as an attachment:
   • Web: From the "Reply All" menu, select "Forward"
   • Windows: Ctrl+Alt+F
   • Mac: Control+Command+J
   • Phone or tablet: Use one of the above options, like webmail
3. Address to Infosecurity: security@untsystem.edu
4. Note what you did. For example:
   • Reported
   • Clicked link in email
   • Entered login information at clicked-link web site
   • Changed your password because you realized you did all the above

You report it and report it well because:

• Reporting to IT Security helps us assess and address email threats across the whole System.
• Forwarding suspect email as an attachment gives the security team a lot more information, which you do not normally see, to enable fast analysis and an accurate and measured response.
• Noting whether or not you fell victim enables IT Security to help you do things to remediate the problem and/or limit further risk.
