When running a nonprofit, there’s a good chance that cybersecurity is the last thing on someone’s mind. When the purpose isn’t based on making money and the budget isn’t exactly expansive, it can be strange to imagine that there are people out there looking to profit from an organization. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s happening.
Smaller organizations are more likely to be the victims of cyberattacks because they’re less likely to spend their limited resources on shoring up their security. This is especially the case when it comes to nonprofits. That isn’t even factoring in some hackers' political motivations against certain nonprofit organizations.
