KNOWBE4 DISCOVERS REMOTE WORKER IS REALLY A NORTH KOREAN HACKER

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

KnowBe4 recently disclosed that a remote software engineer that it hired was a North Korean hacker who was able to make it through the interview process and pass a background check. KnowBe4 detected that the hacker's Mac immediately started loading malware. The employee refused to take a call with the team and then became unresponsive, which led KnowBe4 to contact the FBI and Mandiant.
