Epic fail:

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.

Same here, how odd. Guess the server is timing out because it's dealing with 1000X more malware warnings than normal?

Same here: epic fail from Google

Presumably now is a good time to download huge files, as most people will find the Web unreachable without it so there should be plenty of network capacity going spare.

Alternatively, buy shares in Yahoo, as their ad impressions will be going through the roof.

Yeah, just noticed that myself. Methinks they have issues - the Safe Browsing Diagnostic page reports:

Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.
