At Humber, whether you are using Outlook online with Microsoft 365, or whether you are still using the Outlook desktop app, it is easy and important to flag any malicious emails coming into your inbox.
Microsoft 365
You will always find the Phishing Alert Button by clicking on the ellipsis (3 dots) and then selecting Phish Alert in the drop-down menu.
You will receive a confirmation window to verify that you want to flag it as a malicious email.
Once you confirm, the email will be deleted from your inbox, and the ITS Server Admins will be notified of the phishing attempt. If you want, you can also block the sender by selecting the email and clicking Block from the menu, or right-clicking on the email and select Block from the menu.
Outlook Desktop App
In the desktop app version, you can find the Phish Alert Button in the ribbon. If your window is sized too small, look for the black arrow to access the hidden buttons. You can access the PAB viewing the suspicious email in the viewer or if you open the email. Some versions of the desktop app will also have a PAB in the email itself, right about the body or the message.
You will receive a confirmation window to verify that you want to flag it as malicious email. You are the last line of defence in protecting Humber College from malicious cyber-attacks.
REMEMBER: Stop, Look and Think – Don’t Be Fooled.
