This week’s update focuses on how to report a suspicious email as a phishing scam, some quick tips to improve your web browsing experience, how to leverage dictation to write your emails with your voice, and an upcoming training with LFC Nathan.
1) Reporting phishing emails
What can you do when you receive emails that are designed to trick you into giving up your information or account access, such as an urgent request to verify your password, fill in a Google Doc, or confirm an unfamiliar purchase? Gmail offers an option to report a suspicious email as a “phishing” attempt.
To report an email as phishing, follow these steps: On a computer, go to Gmail, open the message, Next to Reply, click More, and click Report phishing.
2) Leveraging dictation in webmail
If you would like to save time and protect yourself from repetitive stress injuries, consider using dictation in Gmail:
