Email security in China
How China protects its email, measured from public DNS across 5,092,645 domains, and which sectors move the national picture.
Average score across 5,092,645 domains
Active. 276,002 with live mail routing.
Inactive. 4,816,643 with no mail routing found.
An inactive domain is not receiving email, yet it stays registered and can still be forged in your name. Securing it costs nothing and closes that door. 11,831 of them already declare that they carry no mail. How we measure this
How these domains spread across score bands
Where China stands
Across the 5,092,645 domains we benchmark in China, the average email-security score is 1 out of 100, below the global average of 13. That leaves the typical domain here open to being impersonated.
The headline covers every registered domain. Domains that carry live mail score 17, while those with no mail routing score 0. Both matter, because a domain does not need working email to be forged in your name.
Reading this page
- The big number is every registered domain in China.
- Active and inactive split that same population by whether mail is flowing.
