SB167b Reports a suspected phishing message in MS Teams
Reporting suspicious messages in MS Teams notifies IT or security teams that employees are being targeted by cyber attackers. Employees who report suspicious messages in MS Teams reduce organisation's information security risk by ensuring that appropriately trained people can take steps to minimise the harm the potential cybercriminals can do.
Why is it important?
By reporting suspected phishing messages in Teams to the right people, potential attacks can be mitigated before they become a reality. This prevents others from falling for a phishing scam that could lead to account compromise and increased information security risk.
