For some time Google has reported the Google.com domain as partially dangerous. On Tuesday morning the safe browsing tool that scans "billions of URLs per day looking for unsafe sites" has begun to return the page of Google itself, as potentially malicious. Surfing the most popular search engine in the world is therefore a problem for the safety of our policy in the past few hours? Absolutely no.
"Some of the pages on this web site install malware on visitors' computers," he warned the Safe Browsing Site Status, adding that an attacker could try to steal sensitive information via the website. Google has not yet released any official comment on the incident, however, despite the warnings of Google.com was never insecure. Alerts indicate in this case that some users have used the services of Google for hosted, or attach malicious file, with the entire domain that has been so erroneously reported as potentially at risk: "Users publish sometimes malicious content on websites that actually are normally safe ", he says the same company on the page.
We do not know as Google.com time has been marked as "partially dangerous", but the first reports on Reddit arrived last Tuesday. Google.com is not the only domain to be the victim of a reporting error: many more sites based on user-generated content are in fact reported as "partially dangerous" by the service. Among these tumblr.com or github.com. The vast majority of the content in these portals is no problem on the safety, but by its nature Safe Browsing goes deep in search of unpleasant presences inside the servers and if the find marks the URL as unsafe.
The tool also does not work in real time, so it is likely that the "problem" in the security had already been corrected during the hours when it was spotted by the various online sites. It seems that in the last hours Google has managed to correct the signal: at the time of this writing the latest update of the data contained on the instrument's Safe Browsing Site Status dates back to today, April 20, and shows the Google.com domain as "Not dangerous" , then absolutely not dangerous.
