Oopsie. Google says entire net is malware

google-may-harm-computer

Google Search even said Google sites were malware. The error happened for about 20 minutes, apparently worldwide.

Update: It was human error

Unfortunately (and here’s the human error), the URL of ‘/’ was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and ‘/’ expands to all URLs.

To their huge credit, Google found and fixed the error worldwide in 40 minutes.
