Google Admits That Google.com Is Partially Dangerous (eweek.com)
darthcamaro writes: For over a decade, Google's Safe Browsing technology has helped to alert users to dangerous sites, where malware and phishing exploits can be found. Apparently, one of those unsafe sites is none other than Google.com itself.
According to eWeek, "Google's automatic spidering of the Web will catch some malicious sites, and by Google's own admission, there are sites in its index that will redirect users to locations that will attempt to install malware on their computers. Google also admits and warns that by way of Google.com (and the sites linked in its index), 'Attackers on this site might try to trick you to download software or steal your information (for example passwords, messages, or credit card information).'"

Yeah probably better of on reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting
Anyone know why they might call Flash on Google.com? (View the source and search)
Alphabet must have decided to mandate a service motto change to "Admit, but Do No Evil". Two out of three monkeys see, hear and agree!
"Coming up on News at 11: Google has released a report saying that Google.com.. could be dangerous? What does this mean? What do you need to do to stay safe? Tune in and watch through the entire hour and all the commercials, so we can give you the 90-second over-hyped package at the very end."

is that a US billion dollar corporation is being honest for a change and applying the same rules to themselves as others.
I once got a virus from an immitation poker site link. I didn't download an executable. All I did was click a link to what I thought was a popular poker site on one of the top hits. If I recall correctly, firefox crashed and then I had to reinstall windows. Since then, I browse the web on windows as little as possible.
God spoke to me
Apps that app other apps get apped!
Apps!
Could You please _literally_ nuke down Google servers in California (and somewhere in Australia...), to prevent World War III?
You might come across a Metallica audio or video file and get sued into oblivion!
I can't wait until these guys are into their 80's and 90's to see if they roll over and start attending church.
Google is partially dangerous, but mostly harmless.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
I gave my CC information on a site called Wally, or something like that, run by Google. Am i fucked now?
The headlines should say: "Google admits that idiots are idiots. Downloading malware gets your computer infected with malware."
Seriously, though. When did "we" ever think Google was fully sanitizing its results?
Slashdot is rapidly becoming indistinguishable from 4chan.
~ People that think they are better than anyone else for any reason are the cause of all the strife in the world.
If you think that's bad, consider this: You can also find people who disagree with established narratives. Blew my mind.
Luckily the more oppression-conscious millennials are on the case to wash such racist and misogynist filth from the web.
Slashdot is rapidly becoming indistinguishable from 4chan.
ftfy
I can also get access to illegal activities. Google.com is part of a criminal conspiracy!
It's not the millennials that are to blame, it's the fucking parents that raised them. I hate myself every day for being a millennial, but I've done my best to minimize my millennialism's negative impact on the people around me. I've tried to reverse engineer what it's like to be a normal person.
So she can author a Senate bill to outlaw Google.
Are YOU using the TOOL, or is the TOOL using YOU? Think about it!
"Attackers on this site might try to trick you to download software or steal your information"
Come on slashdot, what was the name of the desktop operating System required to promulgate this dangerous Google malware. Wouldn't it be simpler for google not not warn people about this Windows Malware?
Google, a search engine also indexes site that serves malware. How surprising. How is that even news?
You're only saying that because OP is a faggot.
You do really eat brains. So, the web has a spider... Here's an idea of what is real dangerous to me, not a bunch of retards asking me for directions. Dude, if You have money to buy a car, BUY A FUCKING SMARTPHONE. It does have maps, chicks and all your brain dead friends. My SM for example, has a vortex in her mouth, and topaz cunt. Sadly, she likes making that irritating noise chewing bubblegum. Imagine that, my girlfriend is so crazy for ballons that she came from the same kind of accident. (oh yeah man, it's ON mortherfuckeeer!)
Much as *I* hate myself for being a gen-x waste of space and watching my contemporaries raising monumentally self-absorbed children who end up on tumblr and reddit complaining about trivial bullshit, I still believe that you have to grow up at some point and take personal responsibility.
My mother was the first in her family to get to go to university. My grandfather got shot at by German occupiers as a profession and his dad died in a ditch in France doing the same. Every generation has different issues to deal with and every generation should stop pretending that their own particular cross to bear is so much worse than every other.
But good on you for trying to be a decent human being. At the end of the day, that's all we can really expect from people.
Google may have indexed bad sites and not realized it. News at 11.
There are three kinds of falsehood: the first is a 'fib,' the second is a downright lie, and the third is statistics.
By we, you mean us on Slashdot, right? Well, I'd like to say that "we" never did any such thing because "we" are not retarded. However... There are a few people who do post here who may very well have thought that at some point in the past or think that today.
That is not a slight against you personally. I haven't a clue who you are, you're just "some AC" who may or may not be retarded. I'll give you, personally, the benefit of doubt but that's increasingly difficult with ACs and even some fairly frequent poster.
If you look at my UID number then you'll see that I've been here for a minute. I used to give ACs the benefit of doubt and I usually try to do so still but it has reached the point where I'll oftentimes just delete the reply notification if it is from an AC. I don't know if ACs have collectively gotten worse or if I've just become less patient. There are also some really stupid people who have accounts. I can mentally filter them out more easily as I notice names when I read the threads.
So, as much as I'd like to say that we're not stupid enough to think that sort of thing here on Slashdot, we're not that bright. When I joined Slashdot, I actually joined and kept my mouth shut for a long time - this was way back with my first account that I've long since forgotten the name of. I registered but didn't say much for a very long time because I was too busy enjoying reading the smart people's posts.
I'd like to say that we were better then but that's not actually true. I was just dumber then. See, I've gone back and read a lot of those old threads and we've always had stupid people.
I don't really know where I'm going (and I didn't when I started) with this post but I'm basically trying to say that I'd be a liar if I said I didn't think someone here was stupid enough to believe it. Sure, they're not going to acknowledge it now that they've seen this but there's surely at least one person (perhaps they're just unfamiliar with it and not stupid) who believes that Google actually makes a true good-faith effort to clean their links of malware, copyrighted material, and other undesirable information. Someone here believes that Google has people, or software - but probably believes it's people who double check the software results, that actually check for malware.
How many times have you come across Google-cloaking, or whatever they're calling it now? When you see a search engine result, click the page, and the page doesn't actually say anything even remotely like what the search engine result says? Yeah, Google also claims they remove them from their search engine - or claimed that they were going to do so. I seem to recall they said they *still* do so, don't quote me on it. But, see Forbes... If you check a Forbes link at Google, you'll see they cache something different than they display to the Google web crawler/bot. Hell, one of the popular help forums, before the advent of StackExchange, used to get prominent rankings but displayed different content to Google than it displayed to the users. Yet, they stayed high in the ranking for years.
No, no... I don't trust Google to do anything more than they absolutely have to. No, I don't trust Google to have my interest at heart. I don't trust Google to protect me. I don't trust their "don't be evil" slogan and I seem to recall they've actually gone so far as to remove that.
But someone, even someone here, certainly believes that they do all those things and more. It could be stupidity or they could just not yet know better because nobody has told them and they've not come across it. If there's something so stupid that nobody could possibly believe it, in your opinion, there's almost certainly at least one person on Slashdot who not only believes it but will argue about it. No stupidity is too great or too small for a Slashdotter to not believe it.
It's at this time that I'll be humble and point out that I am actually a Slashdotter too. Chances are good that there's something stupid that I'm completely certain about.

APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-4 32/64-bit http://www.bing.com/search?q=%...
Less power/cpu/ram + IO use + complexity vs. local DNS servers, routers & antivirus w/ less security issues. Compliments firewalls (no layered filtering drivers firewalls use blocking less used IP addys, hosts block more used hostnames) & DNS (lightens server load too). Antivirus = reactive. Hosts = proactive, blocking infection BEFORE it hits you. Gets data via 10 security sites.
(Works vs. HTTP PUSH servers in Chrome w/ firewalls)
Safe https://www.virustotal.com/en/...
(Verified by Mr. S. Burn of Malwarebytes: "I've seen the code & yes it's safe" http://forum.hosts-file.net/vi... )
* See subject...
APK
P.S. - Hosts gain speed (hardcodes + adblocks), security (vs. bad sites/dns security issues), reliability (vs. downed/poisoned dns), & anonymity (dns requestlogs/trackers) vs. other solutions w/ what you natively have. Hosts != blockable by ClarityRay/BlockIQ like Adblock/UBlock/Ghostery
startpage.com is perfectly safe.
This sounds about as intrinsically dangerous as a phone book: some of the numbers enclosed may connect you to criminals and naughty people.

Google itself is the malware in my opinion.
To the world wide web. This has and likely to an extent always will be true. I was never under the impression Google was failsafe. No, that was Google's own hyperbole, and in their case, as with virtually everything they do, that is basically lying. Why anyone trusts this company is beyond me.
It's absurd to say something is "partially dangerous". A rattlesnake is only partially dangerous: the dangerous part is the fangs. Even a hand grenade has a pin and stuff, so even it's only partially dangerous.
"Google Admits that Google.com Contains Links"
In a surprisingly candid revelation today, Google admitted that their spidering engines are actually intended to find links to web sites and that these links will be shown on Google.com.
Hi APK,
;-) ), but posting the same thing over and over really doesn't benefit the conversation. I get that it is your style (ironic though it is), but I have things in my style that I leave off Slashdot.
This is what causes people to disparage you. I'm one of the (seemingly rare) people that missed your posts (well, some of them
Your premise that hostfiles are a good way to deal with advertising and malvertising is quite valid, but it only applies to Windows (please correct me if I am wrong) PCs, so it isn't really a '1-size fits all, all other methods be damned' solution. At the risk of inflating his ego, as KGIII says, security is a process, not an application. There's nothing wrong with a multi-pronged approach (and, in fact, it's typically better).
So, listen or don't, you're free to do largely as you wish, but I think you'd be more successful if you advocated your solution as a component of good security vis-à-vis ad/malvertising, rather than the only option.
"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." - Every fascist, ever
Perhaps the complaint is that Google isn't quite up-front about this wall of separation. One solution might be to split search and other services into separate businesses within Alphabet.
See subject: KGIII parrots what others say before him that he read (in computing security & I've been paid professionally on many levels in it (guides, code, servers) - has he? No). HIS KIND = blowhards. Nobody to respect/no authority.
He threw his weight around w/ me on hosts & saying he did more w/ hosts than I!
I asked what makes him an authority on hosts: Nothing. Especially for security & what he's done w/ hosts better than I have.
He can't prove my points on hosts wrong so he pulls the "I don't deny hosts efficacy" & he proves me right.
I cut him up w/ 1 fact: NOBODY SPEAKS WELL A THING HE'S DONE (in software). Not a thing. They do of my work & I can prove it. He can't!
Lastly: I repost to spite those downmodding me. Prove me wrong. Stand behind it. Never happened. Includes alleged "MIT" KGIII the junkie.

I've turned the tide successfully 1st post on hosts I did (2010?) & 100's attacked me (they don't now though validly) I overturned their bs w/ facts they can't overcome. It's about overcoming objections validly. Not bullshit.
My program released & got so many downloads + data draws from its host @ Malwarebytes' hpHosts they had to MOVE TO AMAZON SERVERS to offset the increase!
Tell you anything?
Last thing is INABILITY of naysayers to validly technically prove me wrong (downmodding my posts/trolling me doesn't do it - it proves me right!).
I've got many supporting me (including you) quoted. Many use & like my work too. It's all I need.
I invite "big brain naysayers of /." to do better (like KGIII) - I don't see them doing it, do you? Nope!

"I don't trust their "don't be evil" slogan and I seem to recall they've actually gone so far as to remove that." ..well.. of course being evil they could just keep it and lie right through their face.. but there must still be a spark of godness left in them to account for their taking it down. Because, of course, yes.. they've gone over to "the dark side"
"Join me, Luke" Come over to the dark side: " (Labored mechanical breathing) "Come over to..."ALPHABET!"
"Sorry pops".. "that sounds even creepier than the dark side of the force" "Can't I.. you know.. just get a little bit of 'the force'"
"You disappoint me, Luke" "(Hsshshhssh More mechanical breathing)" "By now everybody would have (Hshsshh hsshsshh) switched to Alphabet"

APK
P.S.=> Con't. w/ more in my next post - there's SO many I can't fit it in 1 post (unless I was KGIII allowed to post encyclopedias that is - odd that, eh? Not!)... apk

APK
P.S.=> Next is DNS serving up malware & abused by malware to do it (acting as C&C data transfer + more etc.)... apk

APK
P.S.=> Next: Rogue DNS + GHOST domains - THEN, onto AntiVirus' ADMITTED inefficacy (SYMANTEC) & SECURITY FLAWS (Tavis Ormandy anyone?) ... apk
See subject: AntiVirus ADMITTED inefficacy by Symantec http://it.slashdot.org/story/1... & Tavis Ormandy flaws http://www.bing.com/search?q=T... in EVERY antivirus there is almost!
PLUS
I have LITERALLY 275++ of these on every antivirus there is BEYOND Mr. Ormandy's more recent findings... so much for YOUR bullshit!
It's also "not the same" stupid - ANTIVIRUS needs drivers (more parts) AND it SLOWS YOU DOWN - hosts by comparison SPEED YOU UP 2 WAYS (hardcodes + adblocking).
APK
P.S.=> Next & lastly - DNS requestlogs make you a TRACKABLE SHEEP
See subject: Hosts avoid DNS totally + lighten DNS server loads too (bonus). You think I DO NOT USE DNS? I do w/ hosts to supplement a PROVEN FILTERING remote DNS in OpenDNS (that is kaminsky redirect poisoning patched unlike 99.999% of ISP DNS out there)
I do my homework, I come on STRONG when attacked - easily tearing up LOSERS that hide posting unidentifiably attacking me & always FAILING (like you).
APK
P.S.=> YOU say I ignore counter arguments? Let's see YOU disprove all of what I put down in Antivirus slowing you requiring more parts inefficiencies + security issues & also DNS security issues galore & tracking by DNS request logs... good luck w/ that! YOU HAVE BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY ANNIHILATED by data from reputable sources... apk
9++ AV companies rescinded false positives based on erroneous heuristics clearing APK Hosts File Engine in 2012:
1.) McAfee/Intel
2.) ESET/NOD32
3.) Symantec/Norton
4.) Sophos
5.) Comodo
6.) ArcaVir
7.) ClamAV
8.) EmsiSoft
9.) Qihoo360
Heuristics I proved WRONG!
I used techniques I was upmodded on /. for CODING FOR DEFCON http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=158231&cid=13257227 MORE THAN A DECADE++ AGO on it!
* They STILL use those rules generating false positives on OTHERS!
Per subject: Antivirus slows you & uses more parts for exploit + inefficiency. Hosts speed you up 2 ways (hardcodes + adblocks) & are only 1 part operating in kernelmode efficiency + speed.
Antivirus filter drivers run AFTER hosts in IP stack - hosts = more proactive.
APK
P.S.=> Proven safe by 57++ antivirus (& Malwarebytes' folks audited it code & they host + RECOMMEND it)-> https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/e01211ca36aa02e923f20adee0a3c4f5d5187dc65bdf1c997b3da3c2b0745425/analysis/1433430542/
See subject: Answer & I'll blow you away like I did last time on DNS + Antivirus https://news.slashdot.org/comm...
* Titles of each reply of mine are self-explanatory - details w/supporting links from reputable sources, often security sites, are inside each...
Anything else I've covered SO MANY TIMES on this site vs. "naysayer detractors" like you that they don't even TRY to anymore... 1,000's of times in fact!
Giving you the FAIR opportunity to make good on your accusation (just so I can systematically ANNIHILATE you to be honest!)
APK
P.S.=> I don't think you understand something: I know "your kind" (trolling worms) BETTER THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELVES (know thyself, know thy enemy) - I do my homework, I come on strong when attacked - your baseless accusations are attacking me! So here 'tis, backup your bs & I'll dust it easily, fast... apk
