Human Error Hits Google
been hit by technical problems, with users unable to access search results. For a period on Saturday, all search results were flagged as potentially harmful, with users warned that the site "may harm your computer". Users who clicked on their preferred search result were advised to pick another one. Google attributed the fault to human error and said most users were affected for about 40 minutes. "What happened? Very simply, human error," wrote Marissa Mayer, vice president, search products and user experience, on the Official Google Blog. The internet search engine works with stopbadware.org to ascertain which sites install malicious software on people's computers and merit a warning. Stopbadware.org investigates consumer complaints to decide which sites are dangerous. The list of malevolent sites is regularly updated and handed to Google. When Google updated the list on Saturday, it mistakenly flagged all sites as potentially dangerous. "We will carefully investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place to prevent it from happening again," Ms Mayer wrote.

to show that history is always in the making .. andsometimes you witness it .. and I'm sure that an awful lot of peoplewitnessed it yesterday.As for further analysis, it's surprising that it happened at all(refer to the BBC news article). Google states "We will carefullyinvestigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place toprevent it from happening again". I wonder what the cost was / will beof this mishap .. if the world's search engine becomes less reliable,it's unlikely to remain the world's search http://www.nigerianbestforum.com/blog/human-error-hits-google-search/ engine ..Gegroet, on a sunny but cold day.
