Yesterday I created in my NTFS a file named SECRET.TXT.
A few minutes later I deleted it in the dos box by DEL
SECRET.TXT.

Today I created the file named SECRET.TXT again at the
same place in the NTFS. But the date of creation was
YESTERDAY - not today!!!

This reveals, that someone on this machine did this
YESTERDAY.
This can be a secret that no one should know!!!
This is a security hole!!!
