Phishing email got past the spam filter into everyone's inbox
A phishing email is trying to trick you into giving away your password or clicking a malicious link. Don't click any links or attachments in it. Report it to your IT team right now using the report phishing button in Outlook. This helps us block it for everyone.
Phishing emails are fake messages that look like they're from real companies or coworkers but are actually trying to steal your password or install malware. They're designed to look urgent and trustworthy so you'll click before you think. When one gets past the spam filter, everyone needs to report it so IT can block it and prevent others from falling for it.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Clicking the link to 'check' your account or unsubscribe. This is what the phishing email wants you to do
- Forwarding the email to coworkers asking 'is this real'. This just spreads the phishing email further
- Assuming it's safe because it came from someone you know. Attackers compromise accounts and send phishing emails from real addresses
Signs you need professional help
- You clicked a link in the email and entered your password or other personal information; you're not sure what information you entered on the phishing site; the email went to multiple people and IT needs to do a company-wide investigation; or you see suspicious activity on your account after clicking a phishing email.
