Steal their credit cards. Just kidding, don't really do this. (Do it).
Go to a meeting and talk to them. They may not have the expertise to even understand the security issues. Don't forget, your HOA board is your neighbors, so helping out is the best way to get things done.
Send them a check?
Yeah, I use my bank's bill pay service that sends a check in the mail once a month for my HOA fee.
Checks are not secure either with demand drafts. Sorry.
They may be in violation of the ToS with their merchant transaction processor, which is a bit of a self-solving problem if they get caught.
