Is .cm safe? The state of .cm domain security — Cameroon
.cm is about average for the internet. Across 13,470 graded .cm domains, 76.6% score an F — roughly in line with the 73.8% global average. 2.3% earn a B or better. Most .cm domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
Note: .cm is used as a proxy for Cameroon based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .cm domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .cm domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 3 | 0% |
| A | 17 | 0.1% |
| B | 287 | 2.1% |
| C | 895 | 6.6% |
| D | 1,951 | 14.5% |
| F | 10,317 | 76.6% |
Does .cm make a domain secure?
No — and that's the most important thing to know. A domain's grade is decided by how it is configured (SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS), not by its ending. Choosing .cm doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .cm domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .cm safe?
On average, .cm is about average for the internet: 76.6% of its 13,470 graded domains score an F as of 2026-07-29, against a 73.8% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .cm domains?
23.4% of .cm domains score above an F and 2.3% earn a B or better. The rest fail the basic externally observable protections, most importantly enforced SPF and DMARC, so they can be impersonated in email.
Does choosing .cm make my domain secure?
No. A domain's grade comes from how it is configured — SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS — not from its ending. A well-configured domain earns an A on any ending; an unconfigured one sits at F on .cm too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .cm domain?
It fails the basic protections we can observe from outside — above all, it has no enforced SPF and DMARC, so its email can be forged and its customers targeted with convincing fakes.
