Digital Art Fraud & Mona Lisa

UPDATE… Lately my art journey has included fraud. That’s right, my unique one of a kind, copyright protected painting is being used in a scam.

Whew! LinkedIn, Instagram Fam, it’s a lot. By the way, this doesn’t personally impact me. In fact, like the Mona Lisa being stolen from the Lourve, all this attention may be adding value to the painting. I doubt it, but what if…

So, if you’ve been following, i’ve been questioning Cloudflare ‘s security. Letting them know that we should have zero trust in their claims to make the internet better.

Well, I was wrong. Come to find out they’re not the host of the fraud website! But here’s the ethical bit, they are the portal that the hosting company provides for the scammy website. Clutch my pearls!

Exactly. So while I can’t completely excuse Cloudflare, I do extend them an apology. Sorry.

Now that I understand the hosting company is Virtual Systems , I’ve asked them to #ceaseanddesist and to have their client take my unique, copyrighted painting off their scammy websites, which has increased since I’ve started asking them to take it down.

Just to be clear, even though Cloudflare Area 1 Security isn’t the host, they are providing a portal, that is a way to do the dirty deed smh.

In the photo at the top of this page, the painting on the right is my unique, copyrighted painting that is authorized on my Artsy webpage (where it was illegally copied from) and on the left is Virtual Systems clients’ fraudulent website with its scam activity.

I could walk away, but why would I? If it were you. What would you do?
