What to do if your nonprofit or NGO gets hacked
The three attacks that hit small organizations most — and free recovery steps.
Threat 01
Nonprofit Ransomware Attack
Your files are locked by criminals who demand money to unlock them. Hospitals, schools and NGOs are the most targeted globally — ransomware attacks on healthcare surged 36% in 2025.
Right now:
Disconnect from internet immediately. Do not restart. Do not pay. Use First Aid above.
Threat 02
Phishing Attack Recovery Steps
A fake email or message tricks someone into clicking a bad link. In 2026, attackers use AI to write convincing messages in local languages — Arabic, Hindi, Swahili, Tagalog.
Prevention:
Never click links in emails. Type the website address directly into your browser.
Threat 03
Charity Organization Data Breach Response
Someone stole your patient records, student data, or donor information. NGOs are 3× more likely to suffer breaches than private companies — and rarely find out until it's too late.
Right now:
Change all passwords from a clean device. Notify affected people within 72 hours.
Common questions
What should I do if my nonprofit or small organization gets hacked?+
Isolate affected systems immediately — unplug ethernet, disable Wi-Fi. Do not shut down infected machines. Photograph ransom notes. Use TeraDef's free Cyber First Aid tool above. This works for NGOs, hospitals, churches, schools — any organization with no dedicated security team.
Is there really free cybersecurity help for NGOs, hospitals and nonprofits?+
Yes. TeraDef is completely free — no account, no credit card, no hidden costs. It will always be free. We provide the same incident response guidance that enterprise organizations pay thousands for — free cybersecurity for nonprofits, hospitals, churches, and small businesses worldwide.
Our hospital was hit by ransomware. What do we do right now?+
Do NOT pay the ransom. Do NOT restart. Disconnect from the network immediately. Check backups. Use TeraDef's Ransomware response above — it gives step-by-step hospital ransomware help tailored to healthcare organizations. Also visit nomoreransom.org for free decryptors.
Someone in our organization clicked a phishing email. What are the recovery steps?+
Change the affected account password immediately from a different device. Enable 2FA. Check email forwarding rules for unauthorized rules. Alert your team not to click links from the compromised account. Use TeraDef's Cyber First Aid for detailed phishing attack recovery steps.
How does the email breach check work?+
We check your email against 14 billion+ leaked credentials from real data breaches. Your email is never stored, logged, or shared. It's a live, one-time check. If your email appears in a breach, change that password immediately and enable 2FA.

Yes. TeraDef is built specifically for the Global South. Available in 6 languages with country-specific guides for Nigeria, India, South Africa, Brazil, Indonesia, Philippines, and more. Free, no account required, works in any country.
Does TeraDef store my data?+
No. TeraDef does not store, log, or retain anything you type. Your information goes directly to the AI — nothing is saved on our end.
Our church was hacked. Can TeraDef help?+
