Logs indicate that you have been scanned for anonymous access / pun writable directories. As far as how did you got defaced is concerned There are many windows vulnerabilities which could've been used to compromise your box. If only one website has been defaced, It doesnt mean only that customer's FTP password was leaked/compromised. It could be just your box, OpenShares / MS-SQL / ISS vulnerabilities etc. I sugged you propery conduct a post security analysis (forensic analysis), and then find if your box as whole was compromised or not, and remember If your box was compromised then it's not necessary that the intruder will let his ip's be in the logs for anyone to see. He could've zeroed them. Unless you had some IDS on Network, or atleast at the box itself to prompt you as soon as it finds something fishy, there is no way you can really trust the authenticity of logs.
