Shalom Family… The morning of March 11th our organization was under a severe Cyber Attack and I was doing everything in my power to restore our platforms.I sincerely apologize for the lack of information regarding our platforms being down. I did not have a way to contact you all during this attack.

The enemies of Israel hate that our platforms exist and provide a voice for our people.

In what looks like a very high level and well funded cyber attack, malicious cyber actors attacked the data centers where our platforms are hosted in an attempt to not only destroy our platforms but also destroy our site backups!

Their goal seems to have been to totally wipe out our platforms and our ability to restore them.

Fortunately we had backups for both HebrewConnect & HebrewConnectTV. Also all user content is held offsite from our data centers, so there was no data breach or loss to content.

That said, they were able to damage our dedicated servers and system databases. We were able to recover from this attack and restore our systems to a recent March 3rd 2025 date.

I do have a data backup as current as the date of attack for HebrewConnect, but am weighing out the risks of migrating that data over.

As a Cybersecurity professional I have taken great steps within my resource limitations to protect our platforms and especially our user data. There is more now that I have to do.

Today I humbly ask you to keep us in prayer and also consider financially supporting this platform. You can do that by becoming a monthly or yearly Pro Member on our site, or donating via PayPal or CashApp.

Our attackers essentially tried to destroy us from being online and system recovery either impossible or extremely expensive to attempt.

Today we need your help, I need your help. So whatever you can do to support is appreciated.
