Statement: As you may be aware, there was a targeted attempt yesterday to solicit donations through a fraudulent look-alike Adirei HaTorah website.
We take the security of your information with the utmost seriousness, and we responded immediately with swift and decisive action working with cyber professionals and law enforcement. B’Siyata D’Shmaya, the fraudulent website has been successfully disabled and the payment processor has frozen the scammer’s account.
While the investigation is still ongoing, this limited leak was confined to some names, email addresses and phone numbers that was used to distribute fraudulent emails and text messages directing recipients to the fake website.
Importantly, there are no indications that the malicious actor gained access to any of Adirei HaTorah’s financial systems or overall donor database, or that any financial information was compromised.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the many professionals and community members who immediately stepped forward, worked tirelessly, and helped identify and shut down this scam within hours of its launch. We are also grateful to the media outlets that helped responsibly publicize the warning and alert the public. Mi K’Amcha Yisrael.
To help protect our community going forward, please note the following:
• All official text messages from Adirei HaTorah will come only from 848-261-8251 or 732-800-1524.
• All official email communications from Adirei HaTorah will clearly identify Adirei HaTorah as the sender and will be sent only through our official communication channels.
• Before making any donation, please verify that you are visiting our official website: www.adireihatorah.com
• If you receive a suspicious email, text message, donation request, or website link claiming to be from Adirei HaTorah, please do not engage with it and immediately report it to us.
We remain committed to safeguarding you and your information and will continue implementing additional security measures to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
Thank you for your vigilance, partnership, and continued support.
Adirei HaTorah
