“The Man Who Owned Google For A  Few Moments”

Google employee Sanmay Ved Bought Google.com for 12$ On September 29, 2015. He Owned the Domain for a full minute before somebody somewhere realized that this wasn’t supposed to be done and revoked his access.

He said that he was up late for browsing Google domains, which is Google’s Website buying service. When he saw that google.com was for sale at incredibly reasonable price of just 12$, People may call Google.com the most trafficked domain in the world and this was kind of a big deal.

Ved Said “I Thought This Was Some Kind Of Error, But I was actually able to complete the checkout”

He Added google.com to his Cart and Completed the checkout and he became the Proud Owner of Google for a Few Moments.

Rather Than getting an email notifying about completing the purchase, his Google search Console was updated and he began receiving messages intended about Google.com domain owner, He also began receiving emails with internal information which later he turned to Google’s security team.

He Said “The Scary Part Was That I Had Access to Webmaster controls for a minute”

Later Ved Was Refunded His 12$ But Still He Became the Owner for A Few Moments!
