Is Google Down?

Discussion in 'Google' started by North Carolina SEO, Jul 26, 2004.

    I just tried to do a search on Google and got this:

    Server Error
    The service you requested is not available at this time.
    Service error -27.


    Does anyone know what this means? Are they down? Why? :confused:

    It is for me in the UK. Some virus apparently causing problems for search engines. Yahoo is up and down too.

    I noticed that Yahoo is up and down, too. It refuses to go past the second page in any of my searches. I didn't notice anything wrong with google, though.

    They are reportedly being hit with the MyDoom.O virus. Check out this article:

    http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?date=2004-07-26

    I've been checking and I'm having problems with Google, Yahoo, Alexa and Overture... Anyone else having problems? Maybe someone is mad they can't get in on the IPO.

    Remember the last time this happened it was Akamai's name servers that were attacked and not the individual companies. :eek:
