Reporting Security Concerns in Google Suite

This is a tutorial on reporting files in Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms) that you suspect may be spam, a phishing attempt, some other violation of Google’s policies, or criminal activity.  Anything you report will be reviewed by Google to access the danger.

• There are two sections below; one for Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and the second for Forms.

If something is particularly concerning please contact the Highline College ITS Help Desk. We can take steps to help prevent others from falling for phishing attacks.

• Please note:  Anytime you report a contact, email, etc., the other person will not be told who reported them.
• Please note:  Your screen may look different due to the specific device you are on, and your settings.
