Google Admits that Google.com is Dangerous

darthcamaro writes: For over a decade, Google's Safe Browsing technology has helped to alert users to dangerous site, where malware and phishing exploits can be found. Apparently one of those unsafe sites is none other than Google.com itself.

Google's automatic spidering of the Web will catch some malicious sites, and by Google's own admission, there are sites in its index that will redirect users to locations that will attempt to install malware on their computers. Google also admits and warns that by way of Google.com (and the sites linked in its index), "Attackers on this site might try to trick you to download software or steal your information (for example passwords, messages, or credit card information)."
