Why is it so important to report phishing attacks immediately?


Because the longer an attack goes unreported, the more damage it could cause.
Trick question. It's not that important to report and attack, so long as you don't click on a link.
An attack doesn't need to be reported immediately, it can wait until the end of the day.
Because reporting an attack helps law enforcement identify and arrest the attacker.
