This young man googled ‘Google’ and ended up owning the domain, Google.com even if it was just for a brief minute.
Sammy Ved accidentally stumbled on Google’s domain buying website – Google when he noticed that Google.com was available.
Ved initially thought it must have been a glitch and decided to try his luck by buying the site. To his surprise the transaction went though, and it only cost him $12 to own the world’s most visited site.
Speaking to Business Insider, Ved said, “I used to work at Google so I keep messing around with the product. I type in Google.com and to my surprise it showed it as available. I thought it was some error, but I could actually complete check out.”
After becoming the owner of Google, Ved started to receive internal information about the company, which he passed straight on to Google’s security team and this was where he got caught.
Unfortunately for him, doing this led Google to realise what had happened and they swiftly cancelled the transaction saying that somebody else had already bought the site.
