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

.locker is riskier than the internet average. Across 9,495 graded .locker domains, 97.1% score an F — worse than the 78.3% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 0.2% earn a B or better. Most .locker 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 5,758 graded .locker domains, 95.5% earn an F — well above the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.1% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.

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

Frequently asked questions

Is .locker safe?

On average, .locker is riskier than the internet average: 97.1% of its 9,495 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 .locker domains?

2.9% of .locker domains score above an F and 0.2% 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 .locker 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 .locker too.

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