Occasionally Spam (junk email) or a Phishing email gets through Microsoft Defender's spam filters and shows up in your Inbox and should be reported. UWSP's process for reporting phishing and spam are very different.
How to Report Email Suspected as Phishing or Spam
Report Suspected Phishing
Suspected phishing attempts require an immediate response in order to protect both the phishing attempt victim and the security of UWSP's network and data.
Email that you suspect is a Phishing attempt should immediately be forwarded as an attachment to phishing@uwsp.edu which immediately alerts UWSP's Information Security Office to take protective steps to remediate the security threat.
Report Email You Consider Spam
Spam (junk email) while a nuisance, is not considered a threat to the email recipient or the UWSP network but should be reported to Microsoft to help improve spam filtering tools that reduce the amount of spam in your Inbox.
To report an email found in your Outlook Inbox as Spam,
- Locate Microsoft's Report button
on the Home tab on Outlook's menu, or on the Message tab in the open email.
- Click the down-arrow on the Report button's right and select Report Junk.
