Google Paranoid about Potentially Harmful Sites
Jan 31, 2009 Security
Google got paranoid about harmful sites. Currently all search results returned by google contain a malware warning. I don´t know if google got hacked or if they have a self induced problem with malware detection. At least we know now what Google thinks about the Internet: “It´s all Malware” ;.). Nice comments are popping up everywhere on the Internet. I like this one:
Skynet – er, Google – has become self-aware and has deemed that the entire Internet is harmful to us power sour – I mean, humans, and is protecting us for some reason it has not divulged yet…
(from slashdot)
Update 1: It seems the syndrome has been discovered – googles outsourced malware partner, stopbadware.org, has gone down.
Update 2: stopbadware claims to be innocent! see: StopBadWare Blog
Update 3: Official Statement form Google – Essentialy they blacklisted “/”

Twitter Hacked
Aug 25, 2008 Security
After Twitter login I got redirected to “t w i t t e r . c o m / S T O R E D” . This is a very strange behavior.
The about box of this account says:
Location: The Internetz!
Bio: Twitter sometimes messes up and redirects here. Odd.
The account does not have any updates nor does it follow anybody. Also it has no profile image. I searched around a little bit, but only found some tweets of people reporting the same strange behavior.
Does anybody know if this is a Twitter made easter-egg? Else this could mean Twitter got hacked.
