-## Reporting a Security Bug
-
-If you think you have discovered a security issue in any of the Hyperledger
-projects, we'd love to hear from you. We will take all security bugs
-seriously and if confirmed upon investigation we will patch it within a
-reasonable amount of time and release a public security bulletin discussing
-the impact and credit the discoverer.
-
-There are two ways to report a security bug. The easiest is to email a
-description of the flaw and any related information (e.g. reproduction
-steps, version) to
-[security at hyperledger dot org](mailto:security@hyperledger.org).
-
-The other way is to file a confidential security bug in our
-[JIRA bug tracking system](https://jira.hyperledger.org).
-Be sure to set the “Security Level” to “Security issue”.
-
-The process by which the Hyperledger Security Team handles security bugs
-is documented further in our
-[Defect Response](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/HYP/Defect+Response)
-page on our [wiki](https://wiki.hyperledger.org).
