Report Phishing

Can you identify phishing? See the SonicWall Phishing and Spam IQ Quiz (formerly the MailFrontier Phishing IQ Test).

Report phishing by sending a saved copy of the email to

  • phishing-report@us-cert.gov
  • spam@uce.gov
  • reportphishing@antiphishing.org

See US-CERT’s Report Phishing, FTC’s Phishing and Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), respectively. A copy of the email is preferred to forwarding the email, since forwarding loses source information.

Additional information can be found at www.antiphishing.orgwww.consumer.gov/idtheft/ and Spoofing – Who Did That Email Really Come From?.

There is also PhishTank, although that seems to be oriented toward URLs (e.g., web advertising that collect personal information for redistribution) and not toward email threats.
