One recent example was a postal service worker in Colorado who stole some people's ballots to supposedly test or show that the election was fraudulent or something vague like that. She was caught because she submitted some of the ballots with fake signatures, and the actual voters checked online and saw their ballots had been submitted, but they never received them. If I recall correctly, at least one or two of the ballots passed the signature check but a few others didn't. The ability to check the status of your ballot online is really valuable, but I suspect a tiny percentage of people can do this, and fewer do check it.
It wasn't that hard to find out the ballots all went through a certain postal code, leading them to that mail carrier. https://www.westword.com/news/colorado-postal-worker-sentenc...
