In this paper, a composite scheme is proposed for detecting stealthy data manipulation attacks on distribution system which is unobservable with standard least squares based state estimators. This technique has three stages where the process of data imputation, voltage phasor estimation and the bad data detection are carried out in a systematic manner. The proposed approach is then integrated with moving target defense strategies which perturbs the network parameters to reveal stealthy false data injection attacks. The proposed approach is tested is validated on a three-phase, unbalanced 37-node distribution system and its results are presented. It is shown that the proposed approach has the ability to accurately detect the presence of FDI attacks using limited measurements (i.e., the test system is unobservable).
