Report suspicious email to IT-Support
Information about reporting suspicious e-mail to IT Support.
If you want to report an e-mail that contains phishing, spam or similar, you do so by sending the entire message as an attachment to IT-Support. On this page, we explain how to do it.
If you receive a return message that the e-mail message was not delivered, it means that KTH IT-Support has already blocked the link in the unwanted e-mail message.
