Responsible Disclosure Policy
The only change is the scrambled code in the link to The Atlantic's security contact email. The email address itself is unchanged (security@theatlantic.com) — the site just re-scrambled it, which is normal anti-spam behavior. No policy terms changed.
Cosmetic change: formatting, typos, or contact details.

± CHANGEDSecurity contact link re-encoded (same email address) The Atlantic hides its security email behind a scrambling code so spam bots can't read it. That code was regenerated, so the link text looks different. Decoding both the old and new versions gives the exact same address, and nothing about the policy itself changed. | ||
