All Franklin College employees will be gaining access to the Phish Alert Button in their Outlook email client.  You should click the Phish Alert button if you believe you have received a phishing email or any potentially dangerous email.  The emails you report will be forwarded to the Franklin College IT Helpdesk.  This button will appear in different ways between the Outlook desktop app and using Outlook on the web, but the concept and icon will be the same. 

 

The Phish Alert button 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 Phish Alert button to report these.  You can delete those types of emails.
