If you receive an email that seems suspicious (i.e., an email that demands quick action, comes from an unknown sender, asks you to provide login credentials or other personal information, etc.), protect yourself and others in the community by using the Phish Alert Button (PAB). When you report a suspicious email using the PAB, our team will investigate the threat and take any necessary action, such as removing all similar messages from systems and notifying our community of the threat.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Find the PAB<\/h2>\n<p>The appearance of the PAB varies slightly according to the version of Outlook you use. In all versions, the PAB icon appears as an open envelope with an orange fishhook. When there is accompanying text, some versions will read \u201cPhish Alert\u201d while others will say \u201cReport Phish\u201d. Please see below for examples of the icon in various environments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.knowbe4.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360009629234#h_01G4JTMDBKKSH36CKBX5D816N8\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"undefined noopener\">Using the PAB in Microsoft 365<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.knowbe4.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360009629234#h_01G4JTVFYNJ9CD76YE6RY0MX2T\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"undefined noopener\">Using the PAB in the Microsoft Outlook Mobile App for Android<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.knowbe4.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360009629234#h_01G4JVGVN5XC7H6AKQ2510BXHP\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"undefined noopener\">Using the PAB in the Microsoft Outlook Mobile App for Apple iOS<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Don\u2019t have the PAB?<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Report phishing by sending us an attachment.<\/h4>\n<p>To report a phishing message, please send it as an attachment to phishing@trincoll.edu and notify the Information Security Team.
