I visited a certain forum earlier only to find that the usual login page was a plain black sheet with writing from the attackers across the top (a threat). When I right clicked properties (which would usually show the invisionfree domain) it showed something along the lines of http://000space.com.

I am a friend with the administrator of the forum board and I would like advice on what to tell him to do next as they have now uplifted the black sheet and threat and allowed continuation of the normal log in page. My friend is keeping his board offline to prevent scrambling of files/archives.

I was speaking to a member who also uses the board and he told me that he heard someone mentioning a "tss attack". When it comes to hacking/cracking, I'm no good. Please help? Thank you.

By TSS attack, are you sure he never meant an XSS attack?

Thank you for the reply TomSpit. Yes, he could have very well meant an XSS attack.
