Huge EPIC Fail!

How so?

With the proliferation of massive botnets that can herd up to 250K+ PCs simultaneously it's not surprising that Google's software may have initially detected such an influx of the same terms as an attack or a test of their defenses.

There was an appropriate captcha at the bottom of the page, fill in the answer and you get the results.

Good for Google, at least we know they are bracing for attack and can keep their services running when something attempts to strain their services beyond capacity.

God bless that in the event there is an "attack on XY country" we're only a captcha away from what we need to know and that Google is still up and running. Truth is the news will break first on twitter and the Fail Whale will be dominating millions of browsers in mere seconds.

They figured it out.
