A deluge of search queries for Michael Jackson led Google News, the news aggregator of Web search engine Google, to initially believe it was under attack, the internet giant said on Friday (local time).
Google, in a blog post on the company website, said that "millions and millions" of people around the world begin searching for news about the pop star on Thursday as reports emerged about his hospitalisation and death.
That's got to be one of the dumbest things I've heard. An attack.
BTW google does not = "the internet" The rest of the net was fine . Just one websites security kicked in when it was bombarded by searches. Happens all the time to better sites.
