What you need to know
Please use the Phish Alert Button (PAB) to report any suspicious email you receive.
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 and forwarded to Information Security 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.
Note: The steps for blocking an email sender vary based on your email client. Contact the TCC Service Center with any questions.
How do I use it?
To report an email as a phishing email:
- Legacy Outlook: Click the PAB while the email is selected or open.
- New Outlook and Outlook Web Client: Click Report > Report phishing
- A prompt will ask you if you want to report the email as a phishing email. Click Yes to report the email or click No to not report the email.
Note: The email you report will be forwarded for analysis and then deleted from your Inbox. If you report an email in error, you can retrieve the email from your Deleted Items.
Alternative Reporting Method
If you can't find PAB or it isn't available in your browser, forward the suspicious email to safe.mail@tccd.edu.
