I wonder in a case like this how hard it would be to "steal" the crypto that you've paid to mine. But I assume these people are probably smart enough to where everything is instantly forwarded to their C&C server to prevent that.

There is no need for the node doing the mining calculations to have access to the private key of the payout wallet.

Unless you know the wallets seed phrase you can not access the mined funds. At best you could replace there wallet with your own to mine it yourself.
