Report Phishing Attempt

I find it discouraging that it is so difficult to report an email phishing attempt to the Bitdefender people. Maybe I'm missing it, but I can't find how to submit it. There should be a way to simply "forward" the email!

    Hello @gregoryd73,

    Should you wish to spread the word, you can also expose this phishing attempt in our dedicated anti-scam forum category here.

    The more we report these malicious practices, the better people can protect themselves in the future.

    Also, here's an insightful article on phishing:
