If you receive a suspicious email, report it to Information Technology Services (ITS). Please do not respond to it, download any attachments, or click on any links.
Outlook users can report suspected phishing emails to ITS using the Microsoft Report button directly from their Outlook mailbox. This feature automatically forwards a complete copy of the email to the Cyber Operations Center for investigation and response.
If you have questions about the suspected phishing email, contact ITS Support at 703-993-8870 Live Chat.
