Is .mov safe? The state of .mov domain security
.mov is riskier than the internet average. Across 7,761 graded .mov domains, 88.3% score an F — worse than the 73.8% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 1.7% earn a B or better. Most .mov domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
How do .mov domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .mov domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 1 | 0% |
| A | 12 | 0.2% |
| B | 120 | 1.5% |
| C | 262 | 3.4% |
| D | 512 | 6.6% |
| F | 6,854 | 88.3% |
Does .mov 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 .mov doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .mov domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .mov safe?
On average, .mov is riskier than the internet average: 88.3% of its 7,761 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 .mov domains?
11.7% of .mov domains score above an F and 1.7% 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 .mov 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 .mov too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .mov 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.
