GBTV #505 (HD) | The Google Glitch

Jan 31, 2009
This morning started like a typical morning for me ... with a google search. I searched for Bruce Williams, a broadcaster who does a business advice show and got the results I'd respect along with warnings on every search result. The warning says, "This Site May Harm Your Computer." I went to a different Mac and did a search. Same thing. I used different search words and phrases. Same thing. I did a search from different browsers and from a PC and got the same warning message.

Next step twitter. I asked if anyone else is getting the error and it appears to be happening to everyone on every search.

I decided to go live on ustream as we tried and figure out what wass happening.

Then we heard from Google. They explained that it was human error:

What happened? Very simply, human error. Google flags search results with the message "This site may harm your computer" if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously. We do this to protect our users against visiting sites that could harm their computers. We work with a non-profit called StopBadware.org to get our list of URLs. StopBadware carefully researches each consumer complaint to decide fairly whether that URL belongs on the list. Since each case needs to be individually researched, this list is maintained by humans, not algorithms.

We periodically receive updates to that list and received one such update to release on the site this morning. Unfortunately (and here's the human error), the URL of '/' was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and '/' expands to all URLs. Fortunately, our on-call site reliability team found the problem quickly and reverted the file. Since we push these updates in a staggered and rolling fashion, the errors began appearing between 6:27 a.m. and 6:40 a.m. and began disappearing between 7:10 and 7:25 a.m., so the duration of the problem for any particular user was approximately 40 minutes.
