Church donors’ credit card and banking info in breach after third-party service provider hacked

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Dissent

LOGOS Management Software is an online donation and profile provider for parishes throughout the country. On February 4, they were contacted by a donor who reported that there had been a possible unauthorized transaction on the donor’s credit card after making a donation on the Ministry Connect** system.

LOGOS promptly arranged for a forensic investigation. That investigation revealed that a server owned by an unnamed third-party service company that hosts a component of the Ministry Connect** system  had been hacked.

“The nature of the compromise affected profile and/or payment information for new or changed gifts that were entered into the system from Friday, January 17, 2014 through Tuesday, February 4, 2014,”  a letter from LOGOS’ law firm sent on March 28, 2014 to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office explains.  The Ministry Connect** service was restored on February 23, 2014, they write.

As part of their response to the breach, LOGOS reported the incident to law enforcement, relocated the Ministry Connect** system to  a server that they own and manage,  and offered those affected a year of free credit monitoring with Experian ProtectMyID.

**Note: Although the notification letter from McDonald Hopkins law firm refers to “Ministry Connect” in a number of places, I suspect they may have meant to write Ministry Connection, which is a LOGOS software system.  As far as I can tell, Ministry Connect, a church-related organization, is not connected to LOGOS or to this breach. DataBreaches.net e-mailed LOGOS’ law firm last night to verify whether they meant Ministry Connect or Ministry Connection, but has not received a response  by the time of this publication. I will update this post if and when they get back to me.
