DEV#POPPER, a social engineering campaign, is targeting software developers with fake job interviews to distribute malware.

The campaign is connected to North Korean threat actors and uses a Python backdoor called InvisibleFerret.

Related campaigns, Contagious Interview and Operation Dream Job, employ similar tactics to infect developers' systems.

Malware such as BeaverTail and InvisibleFerret can steal sensitive data and execute commands on infected computers.

These incidents highlight North Korea's ongoing efforts to enhance their cyber capabilities and exploit individuals via social engineering.

Developers are advised to practice caution and maintain a security-aware approach, particularly in high-stress situations like job interviews.
