Identifying and reporting a phishing email (New!)

Phishing attempts and attacks are widespread and are used to target people in the form of malicious emails or messages. These attempts are becoming more sophisticated and polished and are on the rise as more people work remotely.

Here are some general guidelines to follow:

  1. Immediate Impact on Work: Report to us immediately via chem.help.desk@utoronto.ca.
  2. Non-Urgent Matters: A new Report Phishing button is available in Outlook for all U of T staff, faculty, librarians and students to use for reporting suspicious emails. Please refer to https://securitymatters.utoronto.ca/uoft-report-phishing-button/

For more detailed info, see the instructions provided by the ITS-Information Security Team. https://securitymatters.utoronto.ca/phishing-101-spot-report-and-prevent/

Report phishing messages by either using the “UofT Report Phishing” function in your Office 365/UTMail+ or report it to report.phishing@utoronto.ca
