Google Down and Out

For a 40 minute period on Saturday, Googles system falsely flagged sites, even ist OWN with a warning error which stated that “this site may harm your computer“. It caused a rucuss for the next few hours, but the problem only persisted for 40 minutes according to Google representatives. The exact term used was “hiccup“ which they used and chalked it up to human error and learning experience which was never intended to happen. Normally, if this error were to show this statement, it would mean that that particular site has been known to or is prone to some sort of malicious activity, usually involving illegal installation of software onto the surfers computer.
