I understand your frustration.
You are correct that it's within the realm of possibility that a hacker
could have done this, and it would certainly behoove you to take steps to
make sure that isn't what indeed occured.
However, you should be prepared for the possibility that it simply erased
itself. Sometimes data drops out on drives. Sometimes power surges while
the head is over something crucial.
By all means, check your crucial system files and make sure they haven't
been compromised. Restore "ls" from the cd first, since it could be
modified to make files appear the right length when they aren't.
But don't get frustrated if you spend a lot of time looking for a hacker and
don't find one, unless you come across indications of a hacker along the
way.
