KnowBe4 needed a software engineer for our internal IT AI team. “We posted the job, received resumes, conducted interviews, performed background checks, verified references, and hired the person,” the firm writes on its blog.

“We sent them their Mac workstation, and the moment it was received, it immediately started to load malware.”

[Special points to KnowBe4 for publishing this on its blog. If this can happen to a security awareness firm, it can happen to everyone.]
