I just traveled to the Philippine Islands for nearly 3 weeks. (Sidenote: foreign computer situation in that country is uh... interesting :-) Upon returning, I was going to check some of my log files and discovered my entire /var/log directory was missing. Everything seems to working fine (except cron which has started functioning again after I recreated the log folder), I haven't inspected many config files as yet, but I've found no files deleted, my web page has not been changed, no files stored in the ftp directory. My question is: Is there some other explanation as to how the entire directory was deleted, other than that my computer was hacked? Thanks!
