You did notice when this domain was first registered didn't you 1996, when I rather doubt the .gov top level domain type was even introduced 15 years ago.
So what may be the case now (and I still feel an embassy could still use .org) on registering a new domain, what can and cant be used for top level type.
Although I see the "practical" possibility that an "org" domain could be used for an official embassy, it is certainly against the "theoretical" uses.
Nowadays, "org" is opened to general use, but the original use was certainly not for government. AFAIK, both "org" and "gov" were first regulated in the '80s, with the "org" domain receiving organizations that were not included in the rest of the top categories (as "com" or "mil", or "gov").
All I am saying is that, even if possible, it is very unlikely that nowadays the official site of an embassy would still be "org". Even if it is still owned by an official embassy, the info wouldn't be "current", so there shouldn't be any reason to use such a site for trustworthy current information.
Is it possible? Yes. But my point was not to discuss specifics about "org" or "gov". As with *any* site, the first defense to avoid security problems, or to learn to trust the info out there, is the user. Any other security tool is supposed to be in a second line. So my intention was more to use "common sense". If a user can independently confirm that a specific site is trustworthy, it shouldn't matter "org" or "gov". I just think that when searching for a Greek embassy, "org" wouldn't be my first choice to search/trust.
I apologize for turning the conversation out of topic. My intention was to comment about a general "common sense" data (the domain) that could potentially give a tip about the site.
