New Option to Report “Phishy” Email

Your Outlook now has a new feature to report emails you suspect of “phishing,” a tactic scammers use to get you to reveal private information. With the new “Phish Alert Report” button, it takes one click.

This added feature provides a safe and efficient way to forward email threats to the County technology security team for analysis and deletes the email from your inbox to prevent future exposure.

If you believe that an email you receive is suspicious, click “Phish Alert Report” in the Outlook toolbar. Of course, you can still manually forward their suspicious emails to Spam.Protection@sdcounty.ca.gov.

The new button was deployed to help employees report possible phishing emails and make the County Technology Office’s response more efficient.
