Early April Fool’s?

Well it’s not April yet, so I guess Google must be having a bad morning. Surely they haven’t been hacked have they?

I’m getting Google’s malware warning for practically every site in every search I conduct this morning. I get the same warning behavior in every browser I have installed. No matter whether I’m using my normal IP as assigned by my ISP or if I go through a proxy.

It makes Google completely unusable since they ship you off to their warning page with no way to proceed to the real site. And their safebrowser diagnostic tool only produces a server error. Could it be that easy to mess with Google? Take their safebrowsing thingee offline and screw with every search?

If it’s a hack, I’ve gotta admit it’s a pretty funny one!
