Submission + - Has Anonymous Hacked Google? Wikipedia? Both? Neither?

Press2ToContinue writes: An Anonymous anomaly: ‘This site may be hacked’ — and the site is Wikipedia.

If you perform a Google search for ‘Anonymous’ today, you’ll see that Google has appended the warning ‘This site may be hacked’ to the Wikipedia entry for the Anonymous group in the search results. I have no idea how long the warning has been there, but I first noticed it two days ago.

What I’m wondering is this: has the group managed to perform a particularly difficult hack against Wikipedia — or even Google? Or both?

The message is strange partly because it reads ambiguously – is it a warning from Google or a boast from Anonymous? But it is primarily strange because it appears in no other Wikipedia-related search results that I can find.

Are Anonymous having some obscure fun with Wikipedia and/or Google – or is some other group, illicit or otherwise, discouraging views of the group’s Wikipedia entry via strange means?

And finally, if you visit that Wiki page, do you think you might be infected by Anonymous?

The irony is that many companies fight to get their [crappy] software on MS Windows (anti-viruses and other suckware), and now MS has to operate the same move on a rival phone OS...
