The AI-powered code vulnerability scanning tool rolled out as a limited research preview on February 20th. Per Anthropic’s website, its Claude chatbot can “scan entire codebases for vulnerabilities, validate each finding to cut down on false positives, and offer remediation suggestions for review and approval.” Claude’s code reasoning process is “similar to that of a seasoned security researcher”—it can grasp context, trace data flows, and “catch vulnerabilities missed by pattern-matching tools” before proposing fixes.

**Chinese Businessman Kidnapped, Killed in Turkey; 10 Suspects Arrested** According to Xinmin Evening News, 38-year-old Chinese businessman Wang was kidnapped and killed in Turkey, with his body later abandoned. Police announced Friday (Feb. 24) that 10 suspects have been taken into custody. Suspects began tracking Wang from Istanbul Airport, confirming he dined with a female friend on Jan. 19. The woman was continuously messaging on her phone during the meal, an investigation found.

Authorities said the suspects had a financial dispute with Wang. They stole his phone and withdrew a large sum of money from his cryptocurrency account. The 10 arrested include the female friend and nine men.

The proposal restates the Committee’s policy position: prohibiting punitive blanket service terminations by banks or customer de-risking against those engaged in lawful activities, as well as refusing to open accounts for such individuals or entities. Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michelle W. Bowman noted: "We have observed troubling cases where banks have denied services—with regulators pointing to reputation risk—forcing financial institutions to cut ties with customers based on their political views, religious beliefs, or involvement in unwelcome but legal businesses.
