Re: Notifying organizations when you receive phishing e-mails from them

[Roger A Safian <r-safian () NORTHWESTERN EDU>]

I usually try abuse@ if the site sending the phishing seems like they might take some action.  I also look at ARIN and 
get the security contact if need be.

Subject: [SECURITY] Notifying organizations when you receive phishing e-mails from them

Does anyone try to reach out to the IT departments of organizations you receive phishing e-mails from?  We received 
some today that is coming from an @nih.gov account and I was trying to determine how I could notify them.  I got to 
thinking that it might be a worthwhile to build a page on our website where we could allow outside organizations to 
report spam/phishing messages from accounts on our domain.  Has anyone else done this or even considered it?

Thanks!
