They were hit by W32/Sobig-A (envelope sender used was "big@boss.com")
so they decided to remove NS/MX/A records. The domain still belongs to
them according to whois.
Now do a A lookup on boss.com
I'd clearly say this is abusive domain hijacking and it's on purpose.
And probably boss.com is not the only domains abused that way.
