BRITAIN'S National Health Service is generating so much internet traffic that Google is mistaking it for a cyber attack.
The UK Register cited an NHS email this week which confirmed that "Google is intermittently blocking access due to the amount of traffic from NHS Trusts nationally...this is causing Google to think it is suffering from a cyber attack".
Staff are being advised to use alternative search engines to Google's Chrome in order to avoid the problem.
The issue follows an email blunder late last year in which a test message was inadvertently sent to all 850,000 people with an NHS email account.
About 80 of those hit 'reply all' when they asked to be removed from the list, overall generating about 500 million emails and swamping the NHS IT system.
A man who was arrested for jogging naked through the massive Microsoft campus in Seattle, USA has told officers he was just trying to build up his immunity to cold weather.
The nude exerciser was spotted by a female security officer who saw him running through the area at about 3.30am.
"After seeing nude buttocks illuminated by a street light, she and another officer contacted the jogger, who was wearing nothing but black Skecher sneakers," according to a Facebook update from the Redmond Police Department.
The man was not charged since there were no victims, but was advised that nude jogging could be considered indecent exposure.
