Well, if we know who it is, shouldn't he or she be blocked across Wikia already? Having your account blocked doesn't change how easy it can be to steal someone's login data, especially if you can just make another account. Good point. An good idea for Wikia would be to block the computer of the hacker. But they might get another computer. Still, it's just an idea...

How would they do it, MAC adress? Those can change and any sensible hacker would use Linux virtual machines anyway? IP adress? Maybe, its what we do now but its not all that, this incident is proof. Perhaps the people who violate Wikia's Terms of Use should be physically blocked from accessing the domain altogether. Harsh but if someone's already blocked everywhere, it stops them from doing anon edits through CheckUser of the blocked user to block ALL their IPs.

I hate vandals more than I hate website blocks so this is a somewhat decent solution
