Overview
The previous reporting process of forwarding to the phish.ecu.edu email has been retired. Please use the following process instead.
Most phishing and junk emails are quarantined by Microsoft Defender before they ever reach your inbox. However, if you suspect an email is a phishing message, report it to Microsoft through the Report button located in the Outlook menu. This process includes shared and delegate mailboxes as well.
No matter which version of Outlook you use, Report is available.
