Just goes to show that history is always in the making .. and
sometimes you witness it .. and I'm sure that an awful lot of people
witnessed it yesterday.
As for further analysis, it's surprising that it happened at all
(refer to the BBC news article). Google states "We will carefully
investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place to
prevent it from happening again". I wonder what the cost was / will be
of this mishap .. if the world's search engine becomes less reliable,
it's unlikely to remain the world's search engine ..
Gegroet, on a sunny but cold day. Paul.
Google search seems to be back to normal again .. no more warnings anymore.
So we saw Google fail, albeit briefly .. but what went wrong .. I'm
curious if this'll ever hit the news ?
Gegroet. Paul.
Like most people I use Google to search the internet ... but now
Google search isn't working.
(Nearly) All the search results are displayed with the Google warning
"This site may harm your computer" (even trusted sites like the BBC
News site).
Clicking on a search result then leads to a Google interstitial site
"Malware warning", from which no further movements can be made .. as
most Google help / support sites (now) seem inaccessible.
Is this history in the making ... the day that Google failed ?
Gegroet. Paul.
