So this morning i woke to several instant messages saying where has the main module gone, When i looked at the site it had indeed gone.  I login as the admin and went straight to the event log, i could not see any entry for the module being deleted.  

I looked at the recycle bin and there it was, i restored to the wrong page so i deleted again and then restored it to the correct page.  Thankyou DNN community for this feature it took me months building it up and the thought of having to do it all again was daunting.  

After i had found the module in the recycle bin restored to the wrong page,deleted and restored to the correct page.  I went and looked at the event log and sure enough it showed the entries relating to what i had just done but I could not find any entry that would indetifiy how the module got to the recycle bin in the first place.  

Has anyone ever noticed this, could this have been an attack on my Database,  I am totaly confused about how this happened,

I find it really odd, 

I have been using DNN since the first version of 4.0 , I have never experienced this before.  I have several 3rd party modules installed the only recent modules added were some from Onyatech https://www.onyaktech.com/

I have used these on other installations with no problems.  Out of all the modules that could have been affected it had to be this particular module.  Those https://www.onyaktech.com/ modules are really in no way tied to or related to this other module that was moved to the recycle bin.

Is it possible someone could have got access to the DB,  if you had access to the MS SQL DB to call a stored procedure or query the database passing the correct parameters to delete that module or am i being to parinoid.  

I would be quite shocked if this happened when the site went live.  I have been building this site for the past few months and its getting close to being finished certinly functionality ways its a 100%, just working on the presentation layer and filling some pages with content.  

I was shocked when i saw this morning, I was so relieved when i remembered the Recycle bin functionality of DNN.  

Without their being no log in the event viewer there is no way to tell at what time last night it disappeared and how it disappered.  

thanks for your feedback

you should at least examine your event log, for module deletions. Chances are that another user just deleted the module without him noticing or telling you... The eventlog shows module deletions and also the users that did it
