Information Madness

There was a strange bug that kept google fans away from Google and their favourite authorative sites for sometime.  Around 9:30 AM Eastern Standard Time, I started noticing weird thing while searching on Google.com. Apparently, a bug in Google Search started displaying all the searched results flagged for Malewar.

Each results were displayed with a link saying "This site may harm your computer". Though news results and sponsored listings were not affected by this bug.

Many sites and users reported this to Google security team and I think within an hour or so this bug was fixed.

Funny thing is, within few hours of this event, around ~1500 blogs reported this problem.

Here is the official explanation of what happened with Google's "This Site May Harm Your Computer" bug

  Bugs are like Risks, sometimes they are useful for growth.
