   I recently had a client with a similar (though not exact) problem.  A shared   
   drive was allocated on a computer exposed to the internet (with IIS on it).   
    The shared drive's security allowed 'Everyone' full control.  Someone from   
   China hacked in, copied all of their data, and deleted their files, all while   
   the client was watching a popup window saying 'Deleting files...'.  Not a   
   fun day for them.   
      
   The lesson learned was to never let 'Everyone' have access, only 'Authenticated   
   Users'.   
      
   In your case, though, since all the timestamps are the same, I'd bet someone   
   mistakenly installed a 'demo' or iniital version of the software over the   
   top of your live production data.  As soon as they realized what they were   
   doing, they killed it.   
      
   Any Opal table empty's would take more than a second for 42 tables, I would   
   think.
