Taking over a teamspeak server is easy and fun!
Method one is actually quite easy to pull off if the admins aren't real familiar with admining TS. Simply talk to one of the admins for a few minutes, a little bullshit here and there, convince them you're a nice guy, etc. Then you go ahead and trick them into making you a server admin. Much easier than it sounds, all you have to do is get them to select your name and hit the right keyboard shortcut. If they don't know the shortcuts, convincing them it does something different won't be difficult. (A common one is to tell them it's a shortcut for ping.) At this point, you (the evil "hacker") are a server admin. Quickly ban any other admins that happen to be online, and then do what you wish with the server. Simple. I would be surprised if this isn't what happened to your teamspeak.
Bottom line there is don't start pressing random shortcuts that some random guy from the internet tells you to.
Method two is a little more difficult. It involves getting the login name of one of the admins, and then simply brute forcing their password. It's a less common attack, but it still happens.
To avoid that one, you'll want everyone on the admin team to have strong passwords. Like 8 characters or more, letters & numbers, etc.
Good luck.
