The logical answer is that a new piece of electronics has been introduced into your home, which is using a network chip manufactured in the Phillipines. 

Have you purchased any new electronics recently?

If I did, then this post would be pointless. It'd be great if people could read what I wrote before responding but I know that's too much to ask these days.

I use Decos as a private sub network off main Spectrum router and I found the culprit, and it was indeed my Spectrum Wifi 6 SAX1V1R router that has the same Mac Address from my photos. The other day we had a lightning storm and they had to ping our system because it wasn't working but this notification didn't pop up until the day after. Why did it decide to do this all of a sudden after 6mos of using this router? I have no idea. Maybe it was their update or ping verification that did it. A simple google will show Sercomm makes these same style of Spectrum Wifi 6 routers so now it's at least comforting I didn't have a hack of some sort. Thanks for your response and looks like I've escaped the matrix at least for a little while!

I did read what you posted. I saw that you are the only one using your network. 

I was just offering a possibility and option, if there is a firmware update and the new firmware now recognizes a previously existing device MAC as belonging to the manufacturer in the Philippines.  

 

Sorry to bother you.
