Crime in Cyberspace

The Information Age is an exciting time to live in. I can answer any possible question I might have in seconds flat by simply typing a few words into my web search bar. Knowledge is literally at our fingertips like never before and the potential ways we could use the internet to advance education, art, and communication are seemingly endless. Endless too are the ways the web can be used to spoil such things with manipulation, misinformation, and fraud. 

Friends, my website has been hacked. Some unfortunate soul found their way into my control panel and created a site posing as an IRS refund page. On this web page you, the unsuspecting public, are asked enter all of your personal financial information and the government will kindly deposit your tax dollars into your bank account. The popularity of my site has gone up by over ten million hits since this started. If only I could gather that kind of interest with my photos!! 

I'm working on resolving the issue and getting heatherhawksford.com back online as soon as possible. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and continued support of Heather Hawksford Photography. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Examples of my work can still be seen at:
