A US security firm recently made a blog post about how it got conned into unknowingly hiring a North Korean hacker. The security company, KNowBe4, is known

It was only after the hacker had received his company-issued Mac workstation that alarm bells starting ringing, and loudly. KnowBe4 describes the situation as somewhat instantaneous - the individual immediately began loading up the system with malware, and when the company's SOC team contacted the hacker to ask about the detection, they claimed that they were just following steps on his router, and that may have compromised the system.
