The Adullact forge, an association that promotes free software for public administration and local communities, has been facing a prolonged cyberattack for several weeks. Over 100 million unique IP addresses from all five continents have been sending requests to its Gitlab service, a platform used for hosting and managing software development projects. Although each request individually seems minor, their collective volume has overwhelmed the service, making it inaccessible to thousands of users. Technical experts believe the attacks are orchestrated by artificial intelligence systems that attempt to train models by extracting data from Gitlab. In response, Adullact has introduced protective measures such as blocking specific IP addresses and deploying Anubis, a system that requires users to solve a calculation before accessing the service. This helps distinguish human users from automated bots. However, the attacks have not stopped, and the association says the struggle continues. Adullact explains that it is not alone in facing such challenges. Other free software forges have also experienced similar issues for over a year. GNOME, a well-known free software project, had already implemented Anubis but had to further strengthen its defenses in early 2026 by outsourcing robot management to a specialized service. Similarly, Kernel.org, which hosts the Linux kernel repository, is also dealing with a comparable situation, indicating that this is a broader issue affecting open-source infrastructure. In a separate development, the City of Paris has highlighted the iNaturalist app, a popular tool that allows users to identify plants, mushrooms, and animals and contribute to biodiversity research. The app depends on user observations, which are reviewed and refined by a community of naturalists to ensure accuracy. These observations help the city's ecologists and naturalists understand the distribution of species and support conservation efforts. iNaturalist was created in 2008 by the University of California, Berkeley, and has since become a valuable resource for both amateur and professional naturalists. Atos, a French technology company, has announced the formation of a scientific committee in France aimed at exploring ways to combine artificial intelligence, open source, and national sovereignty. The committee includes experts such as Alexandre Bouard, Stéphane Canu, Philippe Freyssinet, and Jean-Baptiste Kempf, who stress the importance of investing in technology to secure Europe's and France's future. The committee will also include representatives from Atos France and will focus on areas such as medicine, mathematics, and ethics. Additionally, the OSFarm community has launched a directory of agricultural commons, listing 182 projects that meet specific criteria, including open source, sustainability, completeness, affordability, resilience, and interoperability. The directory includes open source software, hardware, data, and agricultural models designed for use in farming contexts. This initiative aims to support the development and sharing of open-source solutions in agriculture, promoting innovation and sustainability in the sector.
