Comment (by pidgin):

 the service behind onion HiddenService is fine, it is serving requests.
 before the DDOS there have not been "Server Not Found".
 Actually it was the hackers third iteration.
 First step from hacker was brute force DDOS which made tor cpu load 100%.
 countermeasure: vanguards and using ExcludeNodes (torrc)
 Second iteration from hacker was to use random nodes, about 1000+, to do
 tor cpu load 100%. countermeasure: vanguards / onionbalance.
 now tor browser gives "server not found", countermeasure not found yet
