People watch the first sunrise of the new year from a footbridge overlooking the city skyline in Seoul on January 1, 2024. Jung Yeon-je | Afp | Getty Images Asia-Pacific markets were set to rise on Thursday, tracking similar moves on Wall Street as investors await an address by Donald Trump later in the day amid hopes that the U.S. president is looking to exit the Iran war. Early Wednesday stateside, Trump claimed that Iran's "New Regime President" had asked the U.S. for a ceasefire , a claim that Tehran has denied. Trump added that the U.S. will "consider" the offer only once the Strait of Hormuz was "open, free, and clear," he said on Truth Social . Trump previously said he was willing to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 started the day up 0.33%, on pace for a third straight day of gains. Japan's Nikkei 225 futures also pointed to a stronger open for the market, with the contract in Chicago at 54,370 and its counterpart in Osaka last trading at 54,280 compared to the index's last close of 53,739.68. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index futures were at 25,301, marginally higher than the HSI's last close of 25,294.03 U.S. stock futures were little changed, with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures just above the flatline. Dow futures were up 13 points, or 0.03% higher. Overnight in the U.S., the S&P 500 advanced 0.72%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.16%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.48%. —CNBC's Lisa Kailai Han and Sean Conlon contributed to this report.

In March, investors active throughout the American capital markets continued to trade robustly. Happily for Interactive Brokers Group (NASDAQ: IBKR) , many were routing their trades through the company. Interactive unveiled its regular monthly set of operational metrics on Wednesday, and they sparked enough market optimism to nudge the company's stock to a slightly over 1% gain. In March, Interactive's daily average revenue trades (DARTs, an important indicator for brokerages) jumped 25% year over year to slightly more than 4.3 million. Compared to February, the financial company's total was down, although not by much, with a 1% slump. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Every enterprise running AI coding agents has just lost a layer of defense. On March 31, Anthropic accidentally shipped a 59.8 MB source map file inside version 2.1.88 of its @anthropic-ai/claude-code npm package , exposing 512,000 lines of unobfuscated TypeScript across 1,906 files. The readable source includes the complete permission model, every bash security validator, 44 unreleased feature flags, and references to upcoming models Anthropic has not announced. Security researcher Chaofan Shou broadcast the discovery on X by approximately 4:23 UTC. Within hours, mirror repositories had spread across GitHub. Anthropic confirmed the exposure was a packaging error caused by human error. No customer data or model weights were involved. But containment has already failed. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday morning that Anthropic had filed copyright takedown requests that briefly resulted in the removal of more than 8,000 copies and adaptations from GitHub. However, an Anthropic spokesperson told VentureBeat that the takedown was intended to be more limited: " We issued a DMCA takedown against one repository hosting leaked Claude Code source code and its forks. The repo named in the notice was part of a fork network connected to our own public Claude Code repo, so the takedown reached more repositories than intended. We retracted the notice for everything except the one repo we named, and GitHub has restored access to the affected forks." Programmers have already used other AI tools to rewrite Claude Code's functionality in other programming languages. Those rewrites are themselves going viral. The timing was worse than the leak alone. Hours before the source map shipped, malicious versions of the axios npm package containing a remote access trojan went live on the same registry. Any team that installed or updated Claude Code via npm between 00:21 and 03:29 UTC on March 31 may have pulled both the exposed source and the unrelated axios malware in the same instal...
