Your church inbox is under attack! And the scammers are getting smarter. That “urgent” email from your pastor asking for gift cards? The donation link that looks exactly like your giving platform? The breaking news story begging to be shared? They’re all designed to exploit trust.

But you don’t need to become a cybersecurity expert to fight back. This article shows you exactly what these ministry-targeted scams look like and gives you five practical safeguards you can implement this week to protect your team and turn digital discernment into part of your pastoral responsibility.
