Fake RFP Campaign

Unknown attackers are using an email with an RFP package/proposal to trick people into visiting document hosting sites that are seeded with malicious links. From here, users may be redirected to another website and then prompted to enter their Username and Password. This allows the attacker to gather the credentials of the visiting user.

Several organizations, both vendors and housing providers, have had accounts compromised in this way. In most of these situations, the attacker was actively monitoring the e-mail box, and responded to e-mail inquiries about the validity of the email.

 

Voicemail

Unknown attackers are sending emails indicating there is a voicemail waiting your attention. When users click the link to access it, they are prompted for their username and password. This allows the attackers to collect the credentials of the user.

 

As always, we encourage everyone to remain vigilant and if you have received a similar email or are concerned you may be affected, please follow your organization’s Phishing Report process and/or contact your IT Provider.

Welcome!


If you are reading this guide, you are about to embark on a process that will help your organization harness the potential of technology to deliver your mission and best serve your community. Proactively planning for technology is about more than replacing old computers (although that might be part of your plan!). This process will help your organization fundamentally shift the way you approach technology investments toward greater mission achievement and community impact. It will identify opportunities for technology to help you control costs, reduce risk, raise funds, and empower staff.


Strategic technology planning – much like any strategic planning process – is a comprehensive look at the current state and the desired future state for your organization. If you just need some new computers, this may not be the right process. But if you are ready to treat technology as a mission-critical investment that can accelerate your organization’s impact, you are in the right place! Your nonprofit has much to gain from appropriately integrating technology into your operations, communications, fundraising, and service delivery. This guide offers step-by-step support to help you lead your organization through technology planning, resulting in a roadmap to smart technology use.
