Is .et safe? The state of .et domain security — Ethiopia
.et is safer than the internet average. Across 7,458 graded .et domains, 46% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 7.1% earn a B or better. Most .et 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 .et zone — covering Ethiopia — 38.6% of 5,870 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 29.6% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.
Note: .et is used as a proxy for Ethiopia based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .et domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .et domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 2 | 0% |
| A | 15 | 0.2% |
| B | 509 | 6.8% |
| C | 1,738 | 23.3% |
| D | 1,763 | 23.6% |
| F | 3,431 | 46% |
Does .et 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 .et doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .et domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .et safe?
On average, .et is safer than the internet average: 46% of its 7,458 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 .et domains?
54.0% of .et domains score above an F and 7.1% 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 .et 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 .et too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .et 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.
