Business outsources work they were hired to do : smart business! Employee outsources his work he was hired to do: scam!
I hate that.

Me too. I personally think it was brilliant.

This is what would freak me out about work-from-home. If you can do your job from your living room, someone can probably also do it from China (and for a lot less money).

Wait, they hired someone without even having a video call?
Maybe they lied in the call and said they weren't a North Korean hacker. That would be the kind of devious thing a hacker might do.
They submitted a deep fake photo and never did a call.
Hey now, it's even on the USA visa application:
Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide? ☐
Talk about one he'll of a security oversight for a "security firm"
Did you expect there to be a portrait of Kim in the background?
Probably was for a high stress, high turnover position where anyone competent and breathing would do.
Seems weird...but I have totally done two different job interviews where nobody has their camera on.
They didn't do one in this case, but I have heard stories of these sorts of malicious actors paying people stateside or elsewhere to take the video interviews. I've had to do ID checks on video in recent-ish interviews.
And with deepfakes they could make the video call look like the person in the fake photo they sent.
