Suspicious activity in my network

Hello everyone,

Lately, I have been getting emails from my internet provider, Cox, about some suspicious activity in my network(I work at a school). Our network has also been blacklisted.

I installed Wireshark and asked Cox for information about all devices that were logged in during the latest time that there was suspicious activity.

I am not sure how can I find the infected device - What should I do with the report Cox sent me? I have a few of these from different hours of the day.

I erased my public IP address.

I am pretty new to Wireshark, so I am not sure what should I be looking for there. I am trying to identify the infected device.

Thank you!
