Overview
Phishing is a type of social engineering in the form of an email. These emails have malicious intent and are trying to get you to do something that could cause harm to you or USI. They generally try to get the recipient to act, whether this be clicking on a link or attachment or providing personal information. If you receive an email you think is phishing, you can report the message to IT using the Phish Alert Button.
