Can you enable logging, or at least retain/archive logs from here on out
until you have this issue sorted?

If you don't have logs, then you are going to have run something like
"fw monitor -o <filename>.out" from the firewall and use Wireshark or
something similar to analyse the data in <filename>.out. Are you
familiar with fw monitor? It's going to be a bit of a tedious process,
mind. You can use the -e switch to specify a filter so specify the IP of
the NIC that's defined as your externally facing interface. Something
like fw monitor -o monitor.out -e "accept src=1.2.3.4;" should work I
believe. Use Wireshark then to see if any of the source ports from your
ISP are listed in monitor.out and begin with those machines. Might not
get all compromised machines but you should get a few.

One thing to note is, you better have some decent space available where
you are running this command, because if the logs from your ISP are
anything to by, you are going to need to let this run for at least 10
minutes. Depending on how much traffic goes through the firewall, you
could be generating a huge file here.
