Churches Are Under Attack
Churches handle sensitive member data, process donations, and maintain digital services that are critical to ministry operations. Cyber criminals actively exploit these vulnerabilities, specifically targeting religious organizations.
70% of religious organizations
faced cyber incidents in the past two years
Ransomware doubled
since 2023 - hundreds of churches attacked monthly
Recent victims include:
Megachurches with 15,000+ members forced to cancel services
Recent Church Attack Victims:
- First Baptist High Springs (BlackLock ransomware)
- Greater Mt Calvary DC (RansomHub ransomware)
- Relentless Church SC (15,000+ members impacted)
- World Council of Churches
- Multiple megachurches forced to cancel services
Primary Threats to Your Ministry
- Ransomware: Locks member records and kills online giving systems - criminals know churches will pay quickly to restore operations
- Data Breaches: Expose member information, donation records, and pastoral notes
- PCI Violations: $5,000+/month fines for online giving non-compliance
- Email Fraud: Wire transfer scams and vendor payment fraud targeting church staff
Why criminals target churches: No dedicated IT staff, perceived willingness to pay quickly to restore ministry operations, and critical dependence on digital systems for giving and communication.
