Josh Rickard, a Security Analyst at the University of Missouri, has developed a special add-in for Microsoft's Outlook email client that simplifies the steps needed to report spam or phishing campaigns to the proper persons in your company's security or incident response (IR) department.
The add-in works by adding a button to the Outlook ribbon UI. Users are supposed to select emails from their Outlook client, which they suspect might be part of a phishing attack, or just coming from spammers that they want banned on the company's email server.
Pressing the PhishReporter button will forward the selected emails as attachments to a specially set up email address. Here, the security and IR staff can analyze the email, and if found to be malicious in nature, they can blacklist the domain in the company's spam blocker.
