MyDoom Hits Google Hard: Librarians At A Loss. A variant of the MyDoom worm has brought Google to its knees. Searches
on Google are returning 503 errors on all queries submitted from
certain locations (including my location here in San Rafael,
California). The attack has also affected Lycos & Altavista. A CNet story
gives more information. Google seems to be back up, but things are slow
and certain features (like the link: search) still aren't working. [LibrarianInBlack]
