Google Search for Vatican Returns Pedophile Site

Google Search for Vatican Returns Pedophile SiteIf you used Google to search for the word "Vatican" this weekend, you probably were surprised that the first result was not "vatican.va" but a pedophile site called "pedofilo.com." Well, maybe you weren't that surprised, unlike Google.

Google Italy spokeswoman Simona Panseri says that they don't really know what happened:

I cannot confirm if it is an attack because I have not had any more precise information from the US engineers to understand the nature of the problem.

The glitch was fixed shorty after it was discovered. [AFP]
