Google's own DoS on the Internet

It's well known and propagated that in the last hour or so Google has been flagging everything as a potential security risk / malware carrying site. I won't go into philosphy of the whole thing, just want to share an observation: I've noticed it myself but on a result from Wikipedia and I just ignored it - "no way is Wikipedia spreading malware". Only later I confirmed  that it's Google's problem (on other forums, blogs, etc). In this particular case, had Wikipedia really been taken over, it wouldn't have helped me a bit. I was ready to trust that it's a Google or FF bug rather than Wikipedia's. And I'd probably do the same next time.

Some sites are trusted ultimately, right?

Just before I saw this on Twitter I noticed that around 9am this morning every site I Googled was giving a malware error. Very interesting indeed!
