Why do companies ask you to forward phishing emails to them as an attachment?

653 views

When you get a phishing email, sometimes a company will have a specific division that deals with that concern. So they’ll ask you to forward any emails of that nature to a specific email address.

But sometimes they ask you to do so as an attachment. Why?

My organization uses it to train the filters that block further phishing emails. It’s kind of like you sending an email to junk, but on a corporate level.
