Reporting a Suspicious Email
To help combat phishing attacks and better protect your data, you have access to the Cofense Phishing Reporter tool as an add-on to the Georgetown University Google mail interface. The Cofense Reporter add-on (Report Phishing button) appears as a fish icon (
) on the right-hand side toolbar of your Gmail screen.
You’ll see the Cofense Reporter add-on when you log in to your Georgetown Gmail client on your desktop or laptop computer, or when you’re using the Gmail app on your iOS or Android mobile device.
The Cofense phishing reporter application is only compatible with Georgetown Gmail apps.georgetown.edu and Gmail apps on the Android and Apple smartphones/tablets.
Your report will automatically include such information as email headers that are vital to investigating the email.
