Nonprofit Cybersecurity: Donors, Data, and WISPs
Online operations may now be the norm for many nonprofits, but they come with security risks that warrant careful attention. In May of this year, “WannaCry,” a computer “ransomware” attack, locked up over 200,000 computer systems world-wide. The attacks demanded payment in exchange for return of the locked-up data. In September, the credit bureau Equifax revealed that it had been hacked, putting over 140 million Americans’ personal information at risk.
