Google is broken / hacked -- all links are marked unsafe

Google Search ^ | 1/30/2009 | (none)

[dayglored]

Every result from Google for the past few minutes has been marked unsafe ("This site may harm your computer."), and you can't click through on them.

[dayglored]

I wonder if they're under attack, or been hacked???

[MAD-AS-HELL]

something is definitely wrong! OMG, this is a sign that the world is coming to an end!*

*must be an engineer at google that was just fired.

[iopscusa]

No problem with Goog here...

[Mercat]

I just noticied that. Weird

[ritewingwarrior]

I just found this even for Wikipedia. I started searching through yahoo since I couldn’t get through to any links from Google. Message boards say that Google and Badware have increased security, and that you can check out which pages of a site are infected with malware that installs on your computer when you open the page. Every single website has this on it from my search results.

[Shady Ray]

I noticed that. I figured something was up when every result from “enforcing, materialmen’s lien, Texas” came back as “unsafe”.

[Perdogg]

i just noticed it too

[xJones]

Bump to the thread. Just damn.....

[dayglored]

Update: now you can click through the result links, but you get a nasty warning page.

[NEPA]

I was wondering what was going on all of a sudden

[flintsilver7]

I was *just* about to post this.

[Loud Mime]

every answer had this:

Free Republic
This site may harm your computer.
Online message boards for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. Gather at Free Republic to check notes, plan strategy, and talk about the issues ...
www.freerepublic.com/ - Similar pages

[Texas Fossil]

NO they are just testing their filter capability, some geek dropped the ball. Hi Hi Hi!

[mountainlion]

I noticed the flag was desecrated on the commie site wicapedia.

[ozark hilljilly]

What are you googling?
I just tried a few random things and it seems to be fine.

[LibWhacker]

Beat me to it. Bizarre hack.

[The Mayor]

I had the same issue and went over to yahoo.
Very curious.

[Vaquero]

Bush's Obambi's fault.

[blam]

"OMG, this is a sign that the world is coming to an end!*"

Death by Google?

I never would have suspected, I'm completely unprepared.

Mark my time.

[i_dont_chat]

I see it.

If hackers can do this, what else can they do? Doesn’t look good for Google.

[Loud Mime]

Maybe our new government has deemed that the Internet is unsafe for all political connections.

Maybe every computer is hacked and now suspicious of visiting illegal sites.

Maybe......we can start more rumors /s

[dayglored]

pings? this is hopefully a temporary breakage, but it’s sure interesting... been like this at least 10 minutes.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

If you use AVG Free it has an option that will automatically verify links returned by Google and other search engines.

I use it and though Google says 'unsafe', AVG says all green.

Google's been hacked. LOL. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of Commie rats.

[maggief]

Related? Was to hit today.

Feds allege plot to destroy Fannie Mae data

[Bon mots]

Yes!
You're right.

Use a different search engine.

Cuil
AllTheWeb.com

The Search Engine List

[WellyP]

This blows the Hell out of Google’s chance of becoming every ones data storage center!

[rabscuttle385]

I saw it. Google is now marking DU and The NYT as "harmful." LOL!

[jennyjenny]

Same thing started happening to me last night.

[TruthWillWin]

Same here. Just checked and it’s still doing it.

[umgud]

I googled Freerepublic and they said it was unsafe and wouldn’t let me go to FR.

[Mr. K]

I am confused.. why would anyone want to leave FreeRepublic pages?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Glad to see this - I just noticed that and was going to ask if anyone knew what was going on.

[Shady]

Just clicked to an Emeril Lagasse link and got the message.

[dayglored]

> What are you googling? I just tried a few random things and it seems to be fine.

Anything. "foo" returns 31 million results, all marked unsafe.

If you're getting consistent good results, maybe it's only affecting one of their many server farms, but that seems unlikely.

[pollywog]

mine too... just tried searching with it and found the same thing.
Hmmmmmmmm

[I see my hands]

First unedited thoughts: I thought for a sec it could be the USA is under attack. Then I thought such an attack may be the only way off the path down which the Left is leading this country. Then I thought that is probably sad but true.

[advance_copy]

Yahoo search is working just fine.

[TruthWillWin]

Sounds correct to me.

[dayglored]

> I am confused.. why would anyone want to leave FreeRepublic pages?

"It was an accident!!! I swear I didn't mean to!!! Please don't tell anybody!!!!!!"

[listenhillary]

I’m saving that one.

[sheikdetailfeather]

I just tried to get in on rushlimbaugh.com and on fr and cannot get in on either. I had to come on yahoo.

[JimRed]

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving search engine...

[Larry Lucido]

Wow, you’re right!

[George Smiley]

There's more than just one search engine out there.

In fact, there are hundreds, some of which are specialized and just might be more suitable for your particular search than Google.

There's a site, beaucoup.com that contains a compendium of a whole bunch of them.

Frankly it's past time for us all to be boycotting Google, as they're clearly showing their political agenda and skewing what they present to us as what ought to be unbiased search results.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Fannie Mae did not immediately terminate Makwana's computer access after telling him he was fired early on the afternoon of Oct. 24, the affidavit states. Before surrendering his badge and laptop computer about 3 1/2 hours later, the indictment accused Makwana of "intentionally and without authorization caused and attempted to cause damage to Fannie Mae's computer network by entering malicious code."

Ho-lee crap. What kind of Einstein's do they have working at FNMA data centers these days? It boggles the mind.

[papasmurf]

Retribution for defusing the 0bama googlebomb so fast?

[Paladin2]

"failure abysmal 0bama"

May harm my computer. There's an understatement

[KeyLargo]

I have noticed that any Google negative images or negative articles of the messiah you get this!

Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!

[COUNTrecount]

This week my computer was infected with the Antivirus 2009” virus after a similar warning from Google.Be careful out there.

[Nonperson]

Perhaps Google is working with the Obama government like they do with the Chinese government!
