Google Leverages DMARC to Block Scams

“In these uncertain times…”

Okay, we had to say it. It’s all over the place. In our estimation, 8 months into COVID, you are still receiving 2-3 of these emails a week. And, you are not alone. Google announced in April that it blocked 18 million daily malware and phishing emails related to COVID-19 in a week’s span and the more than 240 million coronavirus-related daily spam messages currently being floated. And, Google is leveraging DMARC as the workhorse.

Protect your email with DMARC

DMARC helps an Inbox Provider, like Google, determine legitimate email from potential junk, spam, phishing or fraud. An email that is DMARC compliant most likely came from a legitimate source. Google and other Inbox Providers use DMARC to make acceptance and inbox placement decisions. So, DMARC compliance can help elevate your email and protect your business email against malicious attacks.

Without DMARC, your business email is highly vulnerable to online impersonators exploiting this pandemic. If you can be impersonated because you have not implemented DMARC, you are at risk. Adopt DMARC as soon as possible. It protects your outbound messages and improves your deliverability rates. With DMARC and BIMI, your customers will more likely view your email, which boosts your company’s brand reputation and brings both parties peace of mind.
