  Google hit by mystery problems

  By ZDNet UK Staff, ZDNet UK

  Reports are coming in that some users are having trouble accessing Google. Could MyDoom be to blame?
  

  Are you having trouble accessing Google?

  The Web search giant appeared to have been hit by an ongoing technical glitch on Monday afternoon that prevented some users around the world from accessing some of its services.

  ZDNet UK's attempts to access Google UK's search functionality were unsuccessful, and were met with "Server Error. The service you requested is not available at this time. Service error -27."

  The news tab on the Google UK front page also didn't yield results, although http://news.google.co.uk did work.

  Colleagues at CNet, ZDNet's sister site, in Boston were able to access Google.com, but those in San Francisco reported intermittent problems.

  The Search Engine News Journal has stated that "reports are flying in from across the country that Googles search engine has not been working for the past hour in the United States (11:30 am - 12:30 pm Eastern Standard Time, or 4.30 to 5.30pm BST)"

  However, other users reported that the site was functioning well. Google was unable to shed any light at the time of writing. A Google UK spokeswoman wasn't able to confirm any problems and was waiting for an update from the US.

  According to unconfirmed reports on Slashdot, the reported outage may have been caused by a new variant of the MyDoom virus, or the source could be Elsewhere

  Search engines sputter
  Technical difficulties prevent users of Google and other search sites from surfing the Web.
  July 26, 2004: 2:09 PM EDT

  NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Google stranded some Web surfers Monday, unable to meet visitors' requests for hours that afternoon, and the No. 1 search engine wasn't the only site giving users a headache.

  Web site performance slowed broadly, suggesting the possibility that a virus or other Internet attack may be causing problems, said Keynote Systems Inc., a Web performance tracking firm.

  The report comes as outages on the search site Google.com were reported in the United States, France and Great Britain, though in many places the site was said to be working normally.

  "We are starting to see things creep up," said Keynote spokeswoman Della Lowe. "It could be an indication that something is impacting the Internet overall. We are certainly looking into it and also looking into the possibility of some sort of attack."

  The SANS Institute, an online source for Internet security training and an information security research repository, released an article Monday afternoon saying that the latest version of the MyDoom virus was behind Google's problems.

  The virus, which started arriving in mail boxes Monday, uses search engines to find more recipients for its message, according to SANS.

  Once the virus starts, it searches the user's files for domain names. Then it uses search engines to find valid e-mail addresses within these domains, said the article, adding that Lycos, Google, Altavista and Yahoo are all possible MyDoom targets.

  A Google spokesman contacted by CNN/Money said the company had heard a report that the site was down and was looking into the matter, but did not know what the problem was.
