When you report a phishing email to UAB IT, you spark a process that can help protect everyone on campus.
On March 24, UAB IT will release a new phishing button, that works similarly to previous report phishing buttons. The location of the button varies depending on your device. Check out these knowledge articles to determine how to use the button, or view this video to learn how to use it.
Reporting a phish helps UAB IT more quickly respond to these malicious emails — and protect your accounts, research and data.
