If you use online services for email marketing, web site hosting, storing documents, conducting surveys, or for other convenient services, you’re information is still at risk.

The cloud is not perfect. If you’re information is stolen from an online vendor, you’re not completely helpless. You can cancel credit cards, update login information, avoid suspicious emails that start landing in your inbox, and more!

When we think about organizations that get hacked, we think of banks, pipelines, branches of the government, and big businesses. One organization that most people don’t think about are churches. Sadly, churches are victims of cyber crimes as well.

Why would someone hack a church? Churches have data on members of their congregation that can be sold, money that can be stolen, and it gives bragging rights to cyber political extremists. So how secure is your church? Are you confident your members’ data can’t be stolen? Do they know how to spot fake emails from the pastor asking for gift cards or money? Are your computers protected against today’s threats? If the answer isn’t a resounding YES to those questions, then your church and its members are at risk.

Want to secure your church environment? Contact Cross Cyber Security today. We help you secure your IT environment.

The LDS Church discovered part of its computer system was breached, possibly compromising personal data of "some Church members, employees" and others.
