What should an end user do if a threatening email is received from an external source?
Threatening emails should be reported immediately to management and emergency procedures followed as outlined in your agency emergency response plan. This might involve calling 911 or alerting the FBI if you think imminent danger exists (bomb threat). Follow instructions to help identify the source of the threat or to preserve evidence as needed. Also notify the District Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) team of the incident.
