    Google search asking captcha

    Anyone else having to fill in a captcha on nearly every search via Google today?

    Tried different PC's and the mobile phone all have the same issue

    Yes, I suspected because I was researching some security / framework type issues. Both on desktop and mobile.

    They do this when there is an overload or ddos issue, I think.

    Getting the captcha on pretty much every other search term, but doesn't happen if I'm logged in.

    I got the same, I was playing around with some Android Root last night so wondering if they thought I was hacking something. Looks like it's because of HK though, I'm on different country server now and I don't get this error, so must be HK specific.

    Happens at work, too, and we had dedicated connectivity, not via any hk provider... So I guess google's not trusting the entire region?

    It was like that early in the AM too, I thought I had a virus that was rapidly Googling stuff without me knowing then I realized how ridiculous that sounded.
