I guess it shows they're even-handed about how they apply the warnings! No special treatment for their own sites...

"There was a fault. We don't know the nature of it yet. Everything has been solved. We are still making initial enquiries, "
Don't panic!

The BBC article has been updated now ...
Google attributed the fault to human error and said most users were affected for about 40 minutes. "What happened? Very simply, human error," wrote Marissa Mayer, vice president, search products and user experience, on the Official Google Blog. The internet search engine works with stopbadware.org to ascertain which sites install malicious software on people's computers and merit a warning.
Stopbadware.org investigates consumer complaints to decide which sites are dangerous. The list of malevolent sites is regularly updated and handed to Google.
When Google updated the list on Saturday, it mistakenly flagged all sites as potentially dangerous. "We will carefully investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place to prevent it from happening again," Ms Mayer wrote.

I've been good about not dragging up this thread, I really have, but Gmail's been down for near enough three hours now (and counting), and it's starting to get to me. I have work in my Gmail account I need to access, but can't, so I'm just sitting around wasting time and hopelessly refreshing Gmail.
How infuriating.
