MtGox's code is just as related as BitcoinJ or any other Bitcoin software, 
IMO.

It's closed source, so nobody here can do anything about it (unlike
other software discussed here).

And this is also no where near the right place to be disclosing security
vulnerabilities.  Whether you like the guy/site or not, keep those prive
for a reasonable amount of time for them to be fixed (that means more
than an hour).
