So what you're saying is something is mounted on to a directory that had
data in it before the mount. How do I see the data being hidden without

You can't. You must unmount. You should be able to do this from

Lots of good advice here.. but if your machine has been exploited you
should really back up your data and reload the machine. Then carefully
restore your data, checking to make sure any scripts you are restoring
