Anti-phishing measures

Outlook will try to alert users, especially if they are messages that come from addresses that are suspicious, but this measure seeks that users themselves report cases, so that the company can take action. Microsoft knows that it is almost impossible to have control over everyone, so phishing messages will continue to arrive in your inboxes.

Of course, the recommendations for users are the same as always. You must remain alert to threats, do not click on links from unknown addresses or on links that have not been requested. Also, your bank will never ask you to enter a link to enter your data or password.

Surely in Outlook new measures against phishing will continue to be introduced. This new feature that will allow users to report these potential threats will be launched first in its web version. Although it is expected that it will arrive in a while also to the app on Android and iOS.
