Add-on overview
The MetaCompliance Phish Reporter provides staff with a new way of reporting suspicious emails to nominated mailboxes. These phishing incident notifications alert those tasked with remediating business email compromise threats, where action is required for that email.
The Phish Reporter can be configured to suit the customer's corporate messaging style and will appear as an option along the user’s side bar within the Mail Client.
- When a user clicks on the button, the currently selected email message will be forwarded to the configured internal mailbox for further action and remediation.
- Users will then receive a prompt requesting that they permanently delete the email from their inbox, thereby removing any threat from the user’s Mail Client.
