Google has labeled your site with "This site may harm your computer"
Was the subject line of an email I received this morning. My heart skipped a few beats, as I thought my server must have been hacked.
What a way to start your day!
I hadn't even finished my first coffee yet.
I was quickly relieved to see that all sites were being tagged as potential problems.
On Googles Blog this morning they stated:
"If you did a Google search between 6:30 a.m. PST and 7:25 a.m. PST this morning, you likely saw that the message "This site may harm your computer" accompanied each and every search result. This was clearly an error, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to our users. "
They go on to say that the error was caused by an employee, ticking a box that should not have been ticked. This caused Google search results to display "This site may harm your computer" on every site in this mornings search results.
Hey Momma G. This isn't April Fools Day, so please no more surprises
