If the hacker was running as Adminitrator or any account in the Administrators group (not hard to accomplish in this scenario), then editing the logs is hard but not impossible.

Although Windows protects its log files from being edited, it does not adequitely protect device access to the disk upon which they reside (accessed by opening \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0).

Please remember, hackers do not pass out their best tools.
