+## Receiving Security Announcements
+
+Security announcements related to Scala are published to the ["Security Announcements" channel](https://users.scala-lang.org/c/security) on our discourse forum.
+
+Messages to this channel can only be posted by administrators, so it is very low traffic.
+To set up email notifications for new security announcements, read [this post](https://users.scala-lang.org/t/about-the-security-announcements-category).
+
+## Reporting Vulnerabilities
+
+We strongly encourage reporting security issues in Scala to us privately before disclosing them in public.
+
+The email address for security related communication is `security@scala-lang.org`.
+Messages are delivered to the Scala Security Team, which includes people from EPFL, the Scala Center, VirtusLab and Lightbend.
+
+We strive to acknowledge reports within 2 business days.
+In case you don't receive a reply within a few days and would like to escalate, our advice is to ask for a contact person in a forum hosted by the Scala organization:
+  - [Meta category on Discourse](https://users.scala-lang.org/c/meta)
+  - [`#admin` channel on Discord](https://discord.com/channels/632150470000902164/632628729029328947) ([invite link](https://discord.com/invite/scala) for joining)
