Databases in RDS is empty (deleted)

Question

My databases in RDS mysql suddenly empty, database was working normally at 11.00 am (+8.00) today.. surprisedly at 12.00pm (+8.00) i got call said the apps cannot connect to database and do a surface check.. all created databases are missing. This is my first time experience in 7 years subscribe to aws services. perhaps it was injected by anonymous.

Could you suggest what is the best practise and activity to be performed for do some investigation?

If the database itself is missing, you can look at CloudTrail to see who or what deleted the RDS instance.

If the database still exists and something has dropped all tables or all schemas, then you'll to rely on the database logs to attempt to determine how this happened.  If this is the case, then surely AWS had no part of the data loss.
