Google.com එක $12 කට ඉන්දියන් කාරයෙක් අරගෙන!!!!
Domain hunter buys Google.com for $12, owns it for 60 seconds
Bored and looking to make an extra buck, a former Google employee was fortunate enough to purchase the Google.com domain for just $12 – and actually managed to get control of it for about 60 seconds before the company realized it was a mistake.
The main domain of the search engine giant, whose market capitalization last year equaled almost $395 billion, was briefly bought by Sanmay Ved, who was casually browsing Google’s website-buying service, when he noticed that one of the world’s most visited domains was available for purchase.
“The domain actually got added to my cart as seen by the green check-box, and the domain appeared in my cart,” Vad wrote of his experience in a LinkedIn post. “I was hoping I would get an error [message] at sometime, saying transaction did not go through, but I was able to complete [the] purchase, and my credit card was actually charged!”
“I can't shake that feeling that I actually owned Google.com,” Ved said.
While Google has so far declined to comment on the circumstances which made his purchase possible, Ved's told CNET's Crave blog that Google is investigating. Google’s Security Team acknowledged the incident.
