It's the second security issue that happened recently. Someone got in control of a account which has every right an account can possibly have on Wikia. This account was then used to close or redirect popular wikis.

They thought they had it under control, but seemingly they didn't! So locking the entire database was the best thing they could do (fixing things while he attacker can't do any further damage).
