Gmail shenanigans?

[deathpixie]

So, it seems I can't log onto Gmail. As in, I go to the Gmail page and get a message telling me "We're sorry... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now," and a 403 error. Has my work server suddenly been targetted as verboten, or is there shenanigans this morning?

I'm thinking shenanigans, since I'm getting the same from my work computer.

I call shenanigans.

I doubt you're infected, but I also have no fracking idea which Gmail node you're hitting. It's designed to be transparent to us user-types. We just hit gmail.google.com and get the same page, even if they're on very, very different clusters in different parts of the world.

Google isn't normally in the habit of denying individual domains as far as I'm aware.
