Is .kr safe? The state of .kr domain security — South Korea
.kr is riskier than the internet average. Across 415,206 graded .kr domains, 88.2% score an F — worse than the 73.8% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 0.4% earn a B or better. Most .kr 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: .kr is used as a proxy for South Korea based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .kr domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .kr domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 29 | 0% |
| A | 110 | 0% |
| B | 1,477 | 0.4% |
| C | 8,634 | 2.1% |
| D | 38,864 | 9.4% |
| F | 366,092 | 88.2% |
Does .kr 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 .kr doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .kr domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .kr safe?
On average, .kr is riskier than the internet average: 88.2% of its 415,206 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 .kr domains?
11.8% of .kr domains score above an F and 0.4% 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 .kr 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 .kr too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .kr 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.
