Definition ∞ A security disclosure involves the act of revealing information about a discovered vulnerability or security flaw in a digital asset system, protocol, or application. This can be a responsible disclosure, where the flaw is reported privately to developers before public announcement, or an irresponsible disclosure, where it is made public immediately. The objective is to inform affected parties and facilitate remediation efforts. It is a critical component of cybersecurity hygiene.
Context ∞ Crypto news frequently covers security disclosures, particularly when major vulnerabilities are identified in prominent blockchain projects or exchanges. These events often trigger urgent calls for users to update software or take protective measures. The manner and timing of a security disclosure can significantly impact market sentiment and user trust in the affected platform or asset.
