Tech: For 40 minutes, Google thought every site was malware. LOL.
- “What happened? Very simply, human error.” That’s the message from Google VP Marissa Mayer regarding a hilariously disastrous error in the search engine. Essentially, someone accidentally turned on a switch that makes every page with ‘/’ as a root (i.e. every page on the Internet) verify as positive for malware early yesterday morning. And then Google turned it off after surprising everyone. And we LOL’ed. source
