Hahaha thanks guys, great way to wake up in the morning.

I'd thought my markdown parser was stripping <script> tags...turns out I was wrong. Probably should have tested.

Fortunately, it took about 30 seconds to find and delete the malicious comments using GitHub...point for GitBack. A quick fix is in place with a better one on the way.

Update: markdown is now sanitized. Malicious comments restored for posterity
