It didn't go unnoticed when Google, provider of one of the most widely used internet services, made a mistake on Saturday with their search engine. For about one hour every search result had a "This website may be harmful" message and would redirect the user to a warning page before allowing them to continue.
Apparently Google do have humans working for them, and one of them made a mistake - when upgrading their list of malware sites someone had mistakenly added / to the list so that ALL sites would be treated as malware. It took a whole hour for them to realise it had been caused by an update they'd only just applied (you'd think an update is the first place they'd look for problems!) and once reverted to the old version they quickly added file checks to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Guess we'll have to wait and see if they do manage to repeat it again...
