Really? I find it pretty amazing that he chalked it up to “Google is probably on drugs”, without even investigating at all!
- icebraining 8y agoI can see myself doing the same thing, particularly if I didn't have much free time when it happened. I wouldn't expect Google Alerts to warn me of a security issue!
- nickjj 8y agoThe problem is, when the Google Alert hit my inbox it didn't show the ssl.nickjanetakis.com subdomain in the alert snippet. It just showed "Nick Janetakis". Still, I should have clicked through to see what was up, but then again, the links looked very suspicious. I don't make a habit of clicking a bunch of unknown links sent via email, especially not when running Windows.
- dx034 8y agoSecond this. I found Google to be the best indicator for any issues with a web page. They have pretty mature systems and crawl actively, anything flagging up there is likely to be an issue. Even if it had been spam you'd want to know who creates spam pages impersonating your domain.
