Report phishing in OWA

What is the difference between phishing and spam? While they both are nuisances, only Phishing emails are actively aiming to steal login credentials and/or other sensitive data. Spam is a tactic for hawking goods and services by sending unsolicited emails to bulk lists. While annoying, spamming is not nearly as dangerous as phishing, which tries to trick a user in divulging sensitive information.
