What should end users do if they receive a pornographic attachment via email from an external source?

0

Do not open email attachments from unknown sources. It may be safer to delete them because of the potential to introduce viruses. However, after you open an email and find that it contains sexually explicit material that is considered illegal or a federal offense (e.g. child pornography), DO NOT attempt to forward the email. Immediately notify your supervisor and OCTO CERT for assistance in blocking email from the offender and cleaning up your mailbox. The District CERT will call 911 or the FBI to report the illegal incident and follow their instructions to help identify the source of the illegal material. If you believe you are the specific target of sexual harassment you should call 911 or the FBI (202) 278-2000.
