Google’s “This site may harm your computer”: Bug or Hacked?
>> Saturday, January 31, 2009
The Google has flipped out. Starting a few minutes ago when I try to click on any Google search result, I am shown all the sites were marked on “This site may harm your computer“. The one below was the result when I tried to click through to http://google.com/, the first result for searching for “google”. It is obviously an error in Google’s software and one that surely will be fixed shortly, if it has not been fixed already. Since Google is highly distributed, it’s possible that only some of their sites are in error.
Every site, including searching for “google” as you can see below are apparently malicious. Every second Google is down costs the company millions of dollars, and all of the businesses that rely on Google to market and advertise their services.
At present, it is not clear for all sites have been marked on “This site may harm your computer” error, is Google’s own Bug led to such a mistake, or Google has been attacked by hackers. But I believe Google will soon fix the error, and look forward to Google’s explanation. Moreover, we can expect to be, this time in the next few days the matter will become the hot topic of IT news and blogs.
Hope Google don’t make this mistake again.
