Google Issues?

Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)

Is anyone seeing warnings today from Google that they suspect that
searches are coming from an automated source and asking to complete some
captcha-type authentication to complete a search? We have had a couple
of reports on this and I want to make sure it isn't a google issue. I
know this isn't really an operator issue but there are enough
knowledgeable people here that I thought I would ask.

This usually indicates a heavily malware-contaminated userbase or
1-to-N NAT/PAT with a large N. Having both is what usually triggers
this, but sometimes if you are strong on one, it could be enough.

Yeah, I cannot reproduce from any other location so it seems tied to our PAT address... Guess I have to actually do work. :slight_smile: I suspect malware as our PAT is actually running less translations than typical. Checking with our IDS vendor. Thanks for the follow up.
