Non-profits often run on donations, and attackers impersonate them to ask for money
In 2020, attackers spoofed the World Health Organization’s (WHO) domain, sending fake emails to thousands of people asking for donations toward Coronavirus relief. Although it was discovered before much damage was done, this was not an isolated incident.
Non-profit organizations and charities run almost exclusively on private, voluntary donations given by generous individuals who want to help those in need. Cybercriminals take advantage of this, sending spoofed emails to people all over the world requesting donations for a good cause.
Once the phishing scam is uncovered, donors might hesitate to support or donate your non-profit, and people will be less likely to open your emails once they realize emails from your domain are potentially fake or malicious.
Non-profit organizations function on a relationship of trust and integrity with the donors who support them, making it especially damaging to their reputation when they become involved in a phishing scam.
