The research shows a study released Thursday by architect Agari.
Agari represents more than 400 federal websites, including the Ministry of Health and Human Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Census Bureau and the Senate's real website, to support e-mail fraud.
Although the e-mail lists a word that is "from", the e-mail order does not verify that the message is actually sent to the address listed in the "of" field.
There are updated rules that can automatically verify e-mail, called DMARC. The order will double check whether the listed sender sends a communication, allowing the forged e-mail to be destroyed or sent to spam. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) this week issued a directive that requires all federal agencies to complete DMARC.
In the case of
Agari and other providers can process DMARC and Agari according to DMARC-certified statistics.
Of the 335 million government e-miles studied by Agari, more than 85 million were fake.
Agari records that only 18% of federal domains have DMARC. Also, more than half of them will not take the DMARC's choice, ask the email provider to delete the fraudulent e-mail or publish it to the spam folder.
