It was not hacked per se.. But exactly happen was that they were
upgrading software. But when it was down, It was surely interesting to
see the Microsoft Web Directory "structure". Might be helpful for
future use... Also that it can excute .dll and .asp files.. :)

software
and the replicator kicked in at the wrong time... must have been a
spectacular mess... guess it was down for a while... <<grin!>> :-)
