KnowBe4, a security vendor, went through a security incident involving a North Korean individual posing as a legitimate hire. The suspect, under a stolen identity, attempted to inject malware into the company's system using a Raspberry Pi. Fortunately, no illegal access was gained, and no data was compromised, thanks to KnowBe4's vigilant Security Operations Center and restricted access for new hires. This incident serves as a notable example of the complexity of insider threats and the potential for nation-state actors to infiltrate organizations.
