Service Request Options
Phishing attempts rarely affects just one person. Often, the same malicious message will find its way into everyone’s mailbox. Your assistance informing the ITS Department about the suspicious message helps us stop it quickly and is appreciated. If you've clicked on any suspicious message links or have provided your College network username and password, please call the ITS Service Desk immediately.
Below are several options to let Information Technology Services (ITS) know about suspicious messages, phishing attempts or account compromise:
- Forward the message to ITServiceDesk@niagaracollege.ca as an attachment.
This provides ITS with important sender information necessary to block the malicious messages. To do this, select the suspicious message, choose More > Forward as Attachment from the Message menu and email it to ITServiceDesk@niagaracollege.ca .
