    Hello All,
    
    	Basically, the defaced web file on the victim has really got modified.
    Based on the timestamp, we really can confirmed that the web file has been
    changed at the time when people report the defaced web.
    
    	In other words, only DNS poisoning should not be able to provide the same
    result. So can you think of any other reason? Besides, I think we have also
    installed but disabled the IIS Frontpage extension.
    
    	But, I would like to know whether the hacker can remove particular entries
    in IIS Log and Event Log? Can he/she remove entries of particular time zone?
    
    	Thanks.
    
    Ricci

    Ricci,
      Could it have been a nameserver compromise? They may
    have modified the zone file, and replaced it.  It
    would certainly explain the total lack of evidence...
    and also the 'round' number you reported the server
    was 'defaced' for. 15 minutes could well be the
    nameserver TTL etc...
    
    my thoughts anyway...
