Is .global safe? The state of .global domain security

.global is about average for the internet. Across 69,691 graded .global domains, 77.3% score an F — roughly in line with the 78.3% global average. 2.4% earn a B or better. Most .global domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.

Of 60,853 graded .global domains, 72% earn an F — below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 24.6% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.

Does .global 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 .global doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .global domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions

Is .global safe?

On average, .global is about average for the internet: 77.3% of its 69,691 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 .global domains?

22.7% of .global domains score above an F and 2.4% 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 .global 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 .global too.

What does "grade F" mean for a .global 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.
