Renew the expired security.txt

hygiene.security_txt.expired · effort: minutes

Why it matters

A security.txt past its Expires date is treated as stale, so researchers may not trust the contact or may not use it at all. Renewing it takes a minute.

The fix

  1. Check that the Contact still reaches a person who reads it, then set Expires to a new date less than a year ahead.
  2. Put a reminder in your calendar a month before the new date.
