Protect your church and nonprofit in a high-risk world.
Without training and safeguards, houses of worship and nonprofits may be playing digital roulette.
Cyber criminals continue a relentless, worldwide advance seeking to exploit vulnerabilities. Unlike in spy movies, there’s no one hanging from an elevator cable connecting devices that reroute security cameras. Rather, bad actors take the path of least resistance. Often that road leads directly to churches, ministries and nonprofit organizations.
One of three nonprofits is targeted by cybercriminals each year. Why? We’re trusting, open to the public and often lack strong controls over access to networks and finances. In other words, we’re ripe targets for cyber criminals.
Join us for this upcoming free webinar and get educated on the threats that target faith-based organizations. Phishing, email imposters, fake vendors and ransomware are just a few of the scams we’ll address. We’ll be joined by Travis Phipps, Director of Technology at Enable Ministry Partners. Travis is a veteran IT professional and has served with Enable since 2010.
Cyber crimes against churches and nonprofits in 2026
A fictitious patio cleaning company did more than scrub cement. It may have cleaned out an Oklahoma church’s bank account earlier this year. A fake invoice triggered a response from a church employee, downloading a virus that logged keystrokes. The thieves made a clean sweep of the bank account.
Someone breached a Washington State church’s member database, exposing the personal data of about 1,000 people.
The United Methodist Church’s New England Conference lost about $1.6 million after fraudsters posted as bankers and drained the denomination’s account.
Array Crisis Fostering, small Oregon animal advocacy group, lost more than $5,000 when an employee clicked a malicious email link. As a result, their bank froze their funds for a month, disrupting their work.
