News ‘Google.com’ is ‘partially dangerous’

[Technoglitch]

Google is warning you to watch out for, well, Google.

As of Tuesday morning, the search giant's own Safe Browsing tool labels "google.com" as "partially dangerous." The tool, whichautomatically scans "billions of URLs per day looking for unsafe websites," cites "google.com" for some potentially scary problems.

"Some pages on this website install malware on visitors' computers," the Safe Browsing Site Status page warned, adding that "[a]ttackers on this site might try to trick you to download software or steal your information."


Google declined to comment on the site's status by Tuesday afternoon, but those ominous warnings likely don't mean that visiting "google.com" itself is dangerous. Instead, they suggest that some people have used Google services to host or link to something malicious, so the tool is flagging the whole domain as a little risky.

"Users sometimes post bad content on websites that are normally safe," the page explained.
