Quoting "Miguel Ortiz Lombardia" <[email protected]>:
The same is true for IUCr, Nature, Science, EMBO (!), Wiley, and
ScienceDirect websites, among many others... including google.com!
Hope it's a (short-lived) bug.

The bug is for them to decide what we have or have not to consider
as a threat and to force us to change our websites as they please.
They may change their filters in one hour or so and we won't notice
this behaviour for our favourite, neutral and usually so compliant
'science' sites. I'm wary of the principle itself of Google shaping
the internet as they want it to be.
It seems they are free to do all that, but so we are to stop using Google.
Best,
Personally I am in favour of such extra filtering. At least it might
give some warning for the less careful home users before they download
yet another worm that recruits their machine into a bot-net. If it
means an extra click to follow a link, then so be it. As you say, no
one is forced to use Google, but I imagine that if Google do it, so
will most of the other search engines.
