Google Goofs On Firefox's Anti-Phishing List

Stephen writes "While phishing is a problem, giving one company the power to block any site that it wishes at the browser level never seemed like a good idea. Today Google blocked a host of legitimate web sites by listing mine.nu. mine.nu is available as a dynamic dns domain and anybody can claim a sub domain. All sub-domains are blocked regardless of whether phishing actually occurs on the sub-domain or not. Several Linux enthusiast sites are caught up in the net including Hostfile Ad Blocking and Berry Linux Bootable CD."

Re:I hate that Google can do this

You've learned the term "IP address" and you're trying to apply it to everything. You're right, Google does not filter by IP address. This is not what I or anybody else has claimed. Go back, read through properly and fill in the gaps. There are now yet more individuals posting to tell you that you don't understand this.

I don't take any credence from a brand new Slashdot account. I know it's you, Mr. AC.

Don't draw a naked wolf giving a blowjob to a horse please, furry.
