Google sorry of Gmail problem

Millions of Gmail users found that they were unable to access their emails due to an outage that lasted up to three hours.

Users were left with no account access for emails or other Google services, but at around half past ten in the morning users attempting to log into their accounts were faced with a secure login page where they had to enter a series of letters and numbers in order to prove that they were human.

Users were getting at one time 502 server errors with the message ‘Server Error. The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request. Please try again in 30 seconds.’ While other were getting the 403 (Forbidden) message the normal response to a virus attack.
