There's a big difference between hiring a hacker to do a specific job, and hiring someone then finding out he's hacking. I guess it also depends on whether you are defining a 'hacker' as a criminal hacker or expanding it to include professionals. Based on what I read at the URL you provided, I would be very surprised if Intel hired a rogue criminal hacker to test their security, but I can certainly see companies like Intel hiring professional white-hat hackers or possibly x-"hackers" who have learned their lesson to do the job.
