nbccministries.org Listed by incransom Ransomware Group

On January 27, 2026, the website of New Beginnings Church in Matthews, North Carolina, appeared on the leak site of the incransom ransomware group. The church, which operates in the religious organizations sector with roughly 25 employees and annual revenue near $5 million, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. While the exact number of individuals whose information may have been exposed remains unknown, any current or former staff, volunteers, donors, or congregants whose details were stored in those files could be affected.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that incransom listed nbccministries.org on its disclosure page and claimed to have stolen internal files. Available details describe the organization’s headquarters in Matthews, North Carolina, along with its publicly listed phone number (704) 567-2900. No specific samples of the stolen data have been published in the initial listing, and the precise volume or types of records taken have not been independently verified. The incident follows the group’s typical pattern of exfiltrating data before demanding payment to prevent its release.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a church or nonprofit suffers a breach, the people most at risk are often ordinary families who attend services, volunteer, or donate. Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and donation records can easily end up in the hands of criminals. Once that information leaves a trusted organization, it can appear on dark-web markets within days. For many families this means a sudden increase in phishing emails, robocalls, or attempts to impersonate church staff to solicit more money or personal details.

Credential leaks from such incidents frequently cascade into account takeovers elsewhere. If you reused the same password at the church’s online donation portal, event registration system, or volunteer scheduling tool, that password may now be for sale. Children’s information tied to youth programs or family accounts can also surface, creating long-term privacy and safety concerns.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware groups rarely stop at one dataset. Once internal files are obtained, attackers map connections between email addresses, phone numbers, usernames, and real-world identities. This process, known as identity chaining, turns a single breach into a roadmap that can expose your home address, family members’ names, and even children’s gaming accounts. A seemingly harmless church volunteer form can link your primary email to a child’s Roblox or Minecraft username, giving harassers or identity thieves a complete picture.

Public reporting shows these chains often lead to doxxing, targeted scams, or extortion attempts against both the organization and its members. What begins as “just church data” can quickly become a gateway for broader harassment.

Incransom Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes the incransom ransomware group with emerging in late 2024. The group has claimed responsibility for attacks on a range of smaller organizations, including nonprofits, local governments, and healthcare providers. Its typical playbook involves gaining initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop services, exfiltrating sensitive files, then encrypting systems. After encryption, the group posts samples or announcements on its leak site and pressures victims with deadlines to pay for decryption keys and deletion of the stolen data. Exact success rates and prior victim counts remain difficult to confirm independently.
