How do I report phishing or spam emails
If you receive a phishing email asking for personal information such as usernames, passwords, or bank details, or requesting payment in a threatening way:
- Report it to AskOtago following the instructions in the related article: Forward a suspicious email
- The header of the email contains information about the path an email took as it crossed mail servers, so it can be used by the IT Assurance and Cyber Security (ITACS) team for tracking and troubleshooting.
- Even if the email appears to come from the University of Otago, don't open any attachments or click on any links.
- If you are unsure if an email is legitimate, or whether a link or attachment is safe to click on, contact AskOtago for further guidance.
