After I ran chmod 777 *, the files under the current directory became
invisible to "ls". What is wrong?

Thanks,

Another user of the system, emboldened by their new found write privs
to your files, deleted or them?

Try ls -tlar   and see i fyou can't find them back.   Use the history
command to see if you might have done something unintentional other
than the chmod 777.
