Comment on US Post Office phishing sites get as much traffic as the real oneparent

Comments

I just think the inconsistency is glaring. Would love to be a fly on the wall of what I expect/hope was a heated debate over why USPS, one of if not the top US government websites used by people in the US, should opt-out of the anti-phishing tactics used by most other US gov't sites.

And for that matter, why does www.usps.gov redirect to the .com rather than vice-versa, and why does the bare usps.gov domain resolve to nothing? Who makes these decisions and how do they result in the opposite of what I (perhaps naively) would expect rational decision-makers to do?
