The incident began when KnowBe4 hired a remote software engineer who cleared multiple rounds of interviews and background checks. Upon receiving a company-issued Mac, the device immediately began loading malware, triggering KnowBe4fs onboard security software.
An investigation, conducted in collaboration with the FBI and cybersecurity firm Mandiant, uncovered the shocking truth: the hired engineer was a North Korean national using a stolen US identity. The attackerfs profile picture was a convincing AI-generated image, further masking their true identity.
