Google broke the Internet: Malware detector went haywire [ArsTechnica]
What happens when a bug infects the world's most ubiquitous search engine? Apparently it labels every web site as malware. On Saturday morning, Google began warning search users that the results of their search - every result - was infected with malware with the warning "This site may harm your computer." It only lasted around 40 minutes, but word of the bug spread quickly on blogs and Twitter. The bug was diagnosed as an issue with Google's malware detecting supplier - StopBadware.org.
