I have the same questions. Also, finding packets from China hitting your router happens every day, as hackers are continually banging on the doors...
I was gonna say, I could do a packet trace right now and provide proof that the Chinese AND the Russians are talking to my network. And packets are insignificant. Transactions can span thousands if not millions of packets depending on the data being exchanged, and unless there was some sort of SSL inspection configured, any encrypted packets are unreadable.
There was not supposed to be a door. There was. That’s the point. Dominion left a door open.
