+Security Validations
+====================
+
+NOTE: Starting at version 4.0.0, all attachments are *required* to include a
+content_type validation, a file_name validation, or to explicitly state that
+they're not going to have either. *Paperclip will raise an error* if you do not
+do this.
+
+```ruby
+class ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :avatar
+# Validate content type
+  validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => /\Aimage/
+# Validate filename
+  validates_attachment_file_name :avatar, :matches => [/png\Z/, /jpe?g\Z/]
+# Explicitly do not validate
+  do_not_validate_attachment_file_type :avatar
+end
+```
+
+This keeps Paperclip secure-by-default, and will prevent people trying to mess
+with your filesystem.
+
+NOTE: Also starting at version 4.0.0, Paperclip has another validation that
+cannot be turned off. This validation will prevent content type spoofing. That
+is, uploading, say, a PHP document as part of the EXIF tags of a well-formed
+JPEG. This check is limited to the media type (the first part of the MIME type,
+so, 'text' in 'text/plain'). This will prevent HTML documents from being
+uploaded as JPEGs, but will not prevent GIFs from being uploaded with a .jpg
+extension. This validation will only add validation errors to the form. It will
+not cause Errors to be raised.

 Global defaults for all your paperclip attachments can be defined by changing the Paperclip::Attachment.default_options Hash, this can be useful for setting your default storage settings per example so you won't have to define them in every has_attached_file definition.
