Fraud Lifecycle with DMARC

It is impossible for spoofed email to be delivered to DMARC-protected email servers

“DMARC protects more than 85% of the people who receive and send email from Facebook.”

Michael Adkins, Facebook

“Implementing DMARC stopped nearly 25 million attempted attacks on our customers during the 2013 holiday season alone.”

Trent Adams, PayPay / Ebay, Chair of DMARC.org
