  It just seems exceptionally incompetently handled. The inconsistent stories? Repeated connection attempts to send data to "obvious" places instead of more careful probes and innocent looking transmission attempts to less suspicious locations. The whole thing sounds like a bad b-movie or someone playing a practical joke, rather than a genuine attempt. Then again, who knows, idiots manage to get hired everywhere.
