The Office of Information Technology has installed the PhishArm Button (PAB) in your email client. Learn how this tool works and how you can use it to help keep your organization safe from malicious phishing emails.
When do I use it?
Click the PAB if you believe you have received a phishing email or any potentially dangerous email. Any emails you report using the PAB will be automatically deleted from your inbox. The emails you report will also be forwarded to a designated contact within your organization for analysis.
The PAB should only be used to report emails you believe to have malicious intent. If you are receiving spam or marketing emails, you should not use the PAB to report these. You can delete these types of emails or add the sender or sender's email domain to a block list.
How do I use it?
To report an email as a phishing email:
- Click the PhishArm button
- The following message will appear: "Clicking on Report Email will send a notification to the Service Desk with a copy of this email"
- Click the Report Phishing Email link
- The following message will appear: "Please click the button below to send your report"
- Click the Yes link
- A progress bar will appear, and you will see a thank you message for reporting this email.
Upon clicking, the email will be deleted from your inbox and forwarded to the OIT Service Desk for analysis.
