[conor]

Just attempted a search on google.com and got this seeveral times :

Google
Error

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

Presumably its a tempoary glitch, but I have never seen it before

[christopher w]

Yup - just posted the same exact thing. I thought it was only a one-time thing but I am still getting it right now on every search. Oh well - time for Yahoo searches...

[BroadProspect]

yep, and from most of google servers around the world as well
-27 error code

Google appears fine to me here in NY. It is a little slow on some of the links.

[j4mes]

Alexa and parts of Overture seem to be down too.

[webmasterworld.com...]

[Milamber]

I'm getting the same thing.

Took a screen shot.

[johnypalillo]

I was just opening a new thread with the same news, you were faster.

We have the same error in Google.es and other european servers.

[TravelMan]

wow! 30 mins of downtime = buckaroonies

[j4mes]

Google.co.uk is down too.

G seems just a tad large for this to be a DDoS. Any word from Google people on this forum?

[skippy]

Hmmm I am able to get into adwords, adsense and search with no problems.

[tonmaster]

I'm being told that a hostile DNS attack was launched against google, and that a fake registration to google.com through our favourite spammer domain service <snip> was performed.

[creative craig]

Did not notice any problems in London.

[SuzyUK]

.co.uk is/has been fine here too

[j4mes]

.co.uk still 503ing for me here (Dorset, UK).

[Gabor]

I didn't notice anything wrong here in Canada.

[Milamber]

Opera works if you search using the built in toolbar or the "g widget" shortcut.

[sem4u]

Still 503s in Hampshire :(

Tried Netscape and Opera as well.

[Dayo_UK]

Neither Opera or IE is working for me :(

[xcandyman]

Fine in all browsers here but wasn't before (Derbyshire UK)

[zulufox]

Google's DOWN!?!?!?!

Forgive me while I go stock up on water and ammunition...

[Dynamoo]

Google and other SEs are being hit by the MyDoom.O virus.

[isc.sans.org...]

[SlyGuy]

IE - Server Error

I'm in Toronto..strange..

[rexrhino]

Doesn't work for me in any browser here in Toronto.

[Milamber]

I'm near TO and Opera's working fine so long as you use the toolbar. If you try to search through G it doesn't work though.

[itisgene]

Even Yahoo is down on and off.
It looks like the virus attack report is correct.

[viggen]

from austria, no problems whatsoever

[nalin]

Wow - it is browser specific getting no IE and Moz here but Konqueror works

[willybfriendly]

Google is fine from Oregon, USA. Yahoo is down though
