A Single / Took Out The Universe… Err Google Anyways…Well The Universe Basically

Posted by admin on Jan 31, 2009 in Google, Internet, technology |

 

You might have saw a post I made earlier today when I noticed that Google was broken and every single site on the internet was showing up as containing malware. It was rather weird too because I had just read the email they sent me about making sure to check your site for malicious content. (You can read that warning here)

Well as it turns out and this is no joke, it was all caused by a single character /. I mean literally this “/” took out the entire Internet basically for anyone who was using Google. It didn’t actually take down the sites but it was still bad enough. For most people it lasted about 45 minutes and if you were still sleeping then you probably never noticed. What is strange is a single character could do that but that’s just how computers work. Thank god it wasn’t code for nuclear reactors or something like that…

You can read the story here that goes into more detail.
