Google is being hacked. Please read...

I have information on good authority and as close to full faith as I can come that Google is being hacked right now. Hacked hard. If you know someone that knows about these things, please ask them to verify this if possible.

Yeah something is happening with thier site. I cant get in to check my email.

I can't connect to the homepage.

anyone else noticed the syndicated ads on the boards are down?

Yes google is hacked. Caution to ATS members, use yahoo search engine.

Feels like ATS is being hacked also, site is very slow now.

DeltaChaos Thankyou for the info, I thought there was something wrong with my internet connection

Wow, if this is true, then this is big. Hasn't been something like this in a few months.

Google Canada is working just fine right now. News Page and Search.

news.google.ca...
www.google.ca...

This may be limited to some areas or domains.

Gmail appears to be up now.

Perhaps it was nothing....



Famous last words I know

I can't get into my email (gmail) through normal method either, but I can using a proxy bounce.

Maybe someone is upset about this:
Google puts books online

Anyone think the Google Library project is a theft of intellectual property?

I'm having intermittant success connecting..

How is this ATS board business? Moved.

SimonGray what are you waiting to fix Google!? I wan't my Google back!!!!

Google's just fine on this end.

Slow/negative response can result from a few things -- local problems with routers (there have been problems with Warcraft lately that seem to be related to which backbone your ISP is on (backbone=Major Internet Route). Google also updates and changes their software periodically, which can also cause connections to become slow and intermittant for brief periods of time.

I think the only possible way to hack Google is to make it an inside job (they'e got massively distributed servers), but it's possible to "smurf" them; to overwhelm the site with requests for page reads.

Yeah, I think google is acting perfectly fine now too.
