Question

when you click the phish alert button, the suspicious email is:

directly sent to your supervisor and left in your inbox.

automatically opened and forwarded to the entire organization.

Explanation:

Identify the function of the Phish Alert Button

The Phish Alert Button (PAB) is an email security tool that allows users to report suspicious emails. When clicked, it automatically forwards the email to the organization's security or IT team for analysis and safely deletes or removes the email from the user's inbox to prevent accidental interaction.

Evaluate the given options

• Option 1: "Directly sent to your supervisor and left in your inbox." (Incorrect: It goes to the IT/security team, and leaving it in the inbox poses a security risk.)
• Option 2: "Directly sent to your IT team and removed from your inbox." (Correct: This matches standard security protocols.)
• Option 3: "Automatically opened and forwarded to the entire organization." (Incorrect: This would spread the threat.)
• Option 4: "Sent to your IT team after a reply is sent to the sender." (Incorrect: Replying to a phisher is dangerous and never automated.)
