Subject: Hacking of our Stripe Account
Over the course of the last one month, we have received several reports that some unauthorized sums have been taken from the accounts of our members and/or supporters. Considering the number of people who reported this to us, we suspect that our STRIPE Account is hacked and money is being withdrawn from our members’ accounts and redirected to some shady accounts that are certainly not JIRRA’s. We are sorry to learn that some of our members have been distressed by the loss of their money in this way.
We have launched an investigation into the whole matter since the moment we started to get these reports. In the mean time, the Executive Team has decided to close down JIRRA’s current STRIPE Account altogether. We believe that this will halt the process of charging contributions from our members (except those who have authorized transfer directly from their bank account rather than charging from their Credit/Debit/or Master cards). Once we completed the investigation and everything is sorted out, we will create a new safe and secure account (possibly from another service provider) after which the process will resume charging members and/or supporters as usual and send you the invoice for the amount charged every month.
In the mean time, those members from whose account money is withdrawn without their authorization are advised to approach their bank and dispute the transactions so that the amount so withdrawn is paid back. They are also advised to change their Bank Cards immediately by seeking replacement cards as soon as they are able.
On behalf of the Executive Team and the entire JIRRA family, we apologize for the distress and inconvenience this hacking incident has caused our members and/or supporters.
Thank you for your understanding, patience, and cooperation during this time. The safety of our members’ and supporters’ accounts is our top priority.
Sincerely,
Tsegaye R Ararssa
Secretary, JIRRA Eexcutive Board.
Our mission is to set up an institutional home for our people’s humanitarian endeavour so that, whenever disaster strikes in any form (be it man made or natural, war or persecution, flight or displacement, disease or want), we shall be prepared to respond, to provide relief, and to facilitate rehabilitation. In this way we would like to see to it we intervene in good time to heal the wounds of our nation that is constantly in resistance.
It is therefore our mission to mobilize, harness, and deploy the humanitarian energy of the nation in such a way that we are always prepared to “be there, to say “JIRRA,’for the less fortunate ones among us: the martyrs (and/or their survivors), the wounded, the persecuted (the accused seeking justice and the victim of legal-political justice seeking mercy), the fleeing, the displaced, the refugee, the migrant, and the starved, the sick, and generally the less endowed and/or the less privileged. It is to ensure that we have a system in place for addressing the humanitarian needs of our people.
