The episode examines the behavioral layer that makes DPRK-linked fake interview campaigns work before obvious malware execution. The source describes how recruiter messages, plausible companies, broken calls, shared repositories, browser prompts, login requests, and screen sharing can move a developer from suspicion into cooperation. It emphasizes developer identity as the access path, warning that suspicious interviews should never touch environments containing real credentials, source-control sessions, cloud consoles, wallets, or work accounts.
