Hello All,

On May 3rd 2021 Manitoulin Group of Companies introduced the Phish Alert Button (PAB) as a tool to help mitigate cyber risk and threats and since then over 10,000 phishing emails have been reported with many noted as being high risk threats to MGC.

In light of the positive impacts the PAB is bringing to MGC, We are making it even easier to have the Phish Alert Button (PAB) installed. The new Phish Alert Button is Gmail mobile compatible and works across multiple browsers.

This new feature has been deployed automatically to all users leveraging email services.

To use the PAB add-on in your online inbox, follow the instructions below.

  1. Open an email and click on the PAB icon in the add-on menu.
