first of all toggle ssh is for support remote access, you need ENABLEROOTSSH addon to enable ssh access
there are at least 2 other possiblities that I can think of...
are you using dhcp? are you sure the nas ip has not changed and/or you are connecting to the right ip?
did you have SSH port mapped to the internet? did you have a weak or default password? it is possible that you got 'rooted' or hacked in linux terms.
if you can still access frontview, you could try reinstalling 4.2.10
if that does not work, you could try a FIRMWARE REINSTALL from the BOOT MENU (note: do NOT do a FACTORY DEFAULT) check the FAQ link above on how to access the boot menu
boot menu firmware reinstall will reset the network settings back to default ie dhcp or 192.168.168.168 and should reset the ssh daemon, along with the admin/root password
