Inactive. 354,981 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. 3,535 of them already declare that they carry no mail. How we measure this

Where South Korea stands

Across the 611,507 domains we benchmark in South Korea, the average email-security score is 6 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 12, while those with no mail routing score 2. Both matter, because a domain does not need working email to be forged in your name.
