On Wednesday, May 15, 2024, the Office for Information Technology (OIT) deployed the Proofpoint PhishAlarm plugin for all faculty, staff and students who access their M365 and Gmail mailboxes via the following email clients:

• Gmail Web
• Gmail Mobile app for iOS and Android
• Outlook for Windows and Mac OS
• Outlook Web

PhishAlarm is a new, streamlined way for the UCI community to report suspicious emails. The new plugin will provide automated responses from Proofpoint to help quickly determine if an email is legitimate and will also provide any relevant information directly to the Information Security team for further investigation if needed.

This plugin has been deployed automatically and will not require any action to install. Visit the ServiceNow KB article to find detailed instructions on how to find and use the new plugin in your email client. If you have any questions, please contact security@uci.edu.
