Basically, an individual sends countinuous "hits" to a specific port, flooding the path and effectively shutting down the server.
Not much you can do as a defence, but depending on the quality of the firewall and the network Admin, you may be able to filter out the attac

Achieved by three methods, if you actually do a google search you will find information pertaining to this but the idea of a DDoS is to flood the host computer with so much information it shuts down.

Also, it seems that the main issue will be malware, which is fixable. I guess the server owner doesn't want to get it again, so he/she will not host anymore to prevent future malware? Just my guesses, I'm just worried because I love this server and don't want it to end

so... hater/hacker is screwing it up? Well, that should be an easy fix, right? As long as the server host has the backup worlds (which they do, right? that's how they fix griefing) and the whitelist and whatever is special for mods, it should be possible to establish a "new" server with all the old stuff in it, effectively saving the server. Maybe I'm wrong and ignorant or unknowledgable. PLEASE correct me if (when) I'm wrong... I'm just worried about the "off forever" part of the post...

Just my guesses, I'm just worried because I love this server and don't want it to end. If it were possible for me to help, I would. But computer techy stuff is WAY out of my league! I am barely able to host my own server for just my friends with no mods installed!
Were very lucky they havent gone for our computers obiously these people are sending us a message or a warning
DDos attacks are infact illegal we just need to contact somesort of internet authority or somthing

EDIT: I'm not trying to be mean, It's just astonishing how many people have asked about this already.

Have you guys ever thought of researching for yourselves before posting? This is the place for server related questions that can only be answered by the staff, not simple questions that can be easily answered in 5 seconds, literally.

Wikipedia page about it:

Please read before posting.
Also, you can rest easy. Users aren't in danger of being DDoS'd
