Google wasn't hacked... You know how browsers cycle through a bunch of addresses when the site you're going to is down, well that's what happened

www.google.com.com

www.google.com.net

www.google.com.org

from these three, one of them stand out

http://www.google.com.net

take a look for yourself :rolleyes:

Is it just me or was Google Web Accelerator available for download before this whole incident:

Thank you for your

interest in Google Web Accelerator.

We have currently reached our

maximum capacity of users and

are actively working to increase

the number of users we can support.

Seems like nothing happened to Google or their servers, but someone with too much time decided to mess with some DNS servers.  :p

I pity the person who stuffed up, someone is in for some trouble if it was human error that caused it.

Must have been a DNS issue... no other explaination for it (or maybe DDoSed by web accelerator?)

Like to have seen the look on google-staff faces when their "users-online" counter dropped from the millions to the 0-100's

I?m wondering if one of the root DNS servers where hacked,

There are a few posts on different forums showing the DSN lookup for google.com being hacked, if that?s true I wonder how long before something like Microsoft.com gets re directed.

Hopefully someone will stand up and make an official announcement about WTF happened.

so google wasnt hacked? :unsure:e:

Nope does not look like it,

lol so many jumped the gun and said Google was hacked http://www.engadget.com/

I?d still like know who and where the DNS problem was, and if it was a hack or human error.

Would'nt this have something to do with it?

<Google pays $1 million for google.com.cn and google.cnb>

Google bought google.com.cn and google.cn for million dollars. which should be the record of domain business in China.

To launch a more localized business model will be more important than to buy a .cn domain.

Most of the well-educated Chinese users know the google.com domain well.

To attract new users, a domain in Chinese pingyin will be more acceptable for them. Yahoo launched a yisou.com for its Chinese search engine, which means the first search or "the one" search in Chinese. Sohu.com launched a sogou.com for its search engine, which means search dog in Chinese.

More promotions for google.com branding, a localized business mode, and a sub-branding domain as a plus, probably will help those guys in Google Shanghai office.

I was bored..................... :whistle:

rlol rlol, dude thats funny, I can see the hard core fans printing that onto that iron on transfer and having it on their clothing . Good one.

Still no office word from anyone of what went wrong any of the root DNS servers or anyone come clean about who stuff up?

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
