Report Suspicious Emails

Please send phishing emails to DocuSign's security team at spam@docusign.com.

Here are some tips to help spot the difference between real and spoof DocuSign emails:

• All URLs to view or sign DocuSign documents will contain “docusign.net/” and will always start with https.
• All legitimate DocuSign envelopes include a unique security code at the bottom of notification emails. If you don't see this code, then don’t click on any links or open any attachments within the email. Forward it to spam@docusign.com.

Known Issues

• Accepted button is appearing on the supplement document before opening it. This is happening when bulk sending to recipients supplement documents with option of Must Accept selected. Currently, this allows the recipient to accept the document without viewing it. This is an issue and DocuSign is aware. They don’t have a date as to when it will get fixed. In the meantime, you can set your supplement document as a regular document. Add a required field at the bottom of the document, so that recipients can acknowledge that they viewed and read it.
