They might launch some missiles at South Korea, killing a few hundred people, then triggering a brief but deadly war that results in a few more thousand people dead on the "good" side and hundreds of thousands of dead on the NK side. I'd hate to be the script kiddie who has to live with the knowledge that they did something that caused hundreds of thousands of people to die "for the lolz".
