If you tried searching on Google for a short while after 6.30 am Pacific Time on Saturday, you got a shock. Every search result was listed as potentially harmful, with the warning that each site “may harm your computer.”
Anyone clicking on a result was advised to find an alternative. The problem lasted for about 40 minutes.
Writing on the Official Google Blog, Marissa Mayer, vice president, search products and user experience, wrote:
"What happened? Very simply, human error."
