It doesn't take a nuke.

Just refresh twice on your browser and mtgox will call it a "DDoS" and claim they are victims.

The MtGox server is located in Florida, so that does mitigate things a little bit.  Obviously it would not solve the problem nearly completely.  (Based on what I have read and looking at the IPs etc).

(And the DDOS comment was great!)

Imagine what might happen, if North Korea attacked Japan, home of Mt. Gox.

N. Korean missile launchpad moved into firing position - report (http://rt.com/news/north-korea-rocket-launch-663/)

Quote
A North Korean missile launcher has moved into the firing position with rockets facing skyward, Kyodo reports, citing a Japan defense official.

The Japanese government is on high alert, citing indications that Pyongyang might soon launch ballistic missiles at its island neighbor.

If North Korea is bombing anybody, its us (pun intended). But they won't. China won't let them.

NK isn't going to bomb anyone but SK (maybe.)  NK just wants to scare its people into thinking they're the good guys and the west are the bad guys (y'know, the opposite of what the US is doing.)
