Active. 68,525 with live mail routing.

4/100

Inactive. 49,051 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. 418 of them already declare that they carry no mail. How we measure this

Where Hong Kong stands

Across the 117,576 domains we benchmark in Hong Kong, the average email-security score is 15 out of 100, a little above 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 22, while those with no mail routing score 4. Both matter, because a domain does not need working email to be forged in your name.
