Tech Giants Launch Akrites to Defend Open Source from AI-Powered Attacks
Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, AWS, and 15 other organizations launched Akrites under the Linux Foundation, a coordinated security incident response team for open-source software.

Akrites will enforce a patch-first, publish-second policy and provide fallback maintainer coverage for unmaintained projects.
