Reporting Phishing
It is critical to report any suspicious email as soon as possible. Immediate reporting of suspicious email will help our security team investigate and block sender's email/fraudulent domain to prevent further exploits and reduce the risk of the attack. Other recipients can also be notified.
To better handle phishing incidents, starting October 1, 2022, phishing email will now be reported to Report.Phishing@uregina.ca
To report phishing, forward suspicious email as an attachment to Report.Phishing@uregina.ca
How to send email as an attachment in GroupWise:
- From an open message, click the drop down arrow next to the “Forward” icon on the toolbar
- Select “Forward as Attachment” from the drop down list.
- Then select “Send” to send the email to Report.Phishing@uregina.ca
