Is .br safe? The state of .br domain security — Brazil
.br is safer than the internet average. Across 4,281,187 graded .br domains, 61.9% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 1.6% earn a B or better. Most .br domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
In the .br zone — covering Brazil — 62.5% of 3,394,181 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.1% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
Note: .br is used as a proxy for Brazil based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .br domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .br domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 969 | 0% |
| A | 4,160 | 0.1% |
| B | 63,545 | 1.5% |
| C | 499,846 | 11.7% |
| D | 1,062,487 | 24.8% |
| F | 2,650,180 | 61.9% |
Does .br 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 .br doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .br domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .br safe?
On average, .br is safer than the internet average: 61.9% of its 4,281,187 graded domains score an F as of 2026-08-16, against a 78.3% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .br domains?
38.1% of .br domains score above an F and 1.6% 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 .br 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 .br too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .br 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.
