You better hope you haven't been rat'd and the hacker is just laying low, if you already changed you PW's on that computer or entered your Bitcoin Passphrase then you are pretty much screwed as he can hit you at any given time, it happened to me twice (Besides my offline wallet), the bastard flushed my exchange accounts out, then the 2nd time within the fortnight of the original hack was trying to sell my Bitcointalk account after doing some shady dealings and scamming others then popping pictures up on my PC of FBI related things 
What a wanker, lesson learned though and they were caught out through PM logs through my email address since they were deleting them browser side (They literally watched my PC usage and sleep patterns for when I used my PC), once compromised always disconnect the affected PC from the Internet, Change All Passwords on another PC that isn't compromised and then backup wallet.dat files + what is important and then reformat the affected PC to be sure.

Can someone verify?
You just gave your hacker a sweet treat with that there message as now mr hacker can just copy paste your signed message and use it to prove he is you to anyone else that doesn't know better because it is an extremely general message and you didn't include a date!!

The dust has settled, and I dont believe that there are beyond three scam occurrences.
To the three individuals I have spoken to who paid to the fraudulent addresses: rest assured that I will honor 100% of the payments. I am fully taking the hit for these cases.
What happened was that the hacker read my outbox, copied my writing style, and sent messages to three people whom I had previously sent payment addresses to. These messages stated that the address was incorrect, and to instead send to an updated address (which the hacker controlled). They then deleted all outgoing and incoming messages, so I was none the wiser.
Losses stand at several bitcoins.

The wallet I use does not allow sigs as per the guide. Ill let the dust settle for a day or two & then figure things out.
This is very unlikely. What wallet program do you use?Blockchain.info 2016 version.
Ill figure it out in the coming days.

Ive attempted to sign from my main address. Ive never done it before, so I don't know if it worked.
Here's a tutorial by shorena[1] covering almost all common wallet options and how to sign from each of them.[1] https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345
In the meantime, can this PLEASE be moved back to 'Collectibles'; its where it needs to be seen!
It belongs in this section.Most of the collectibles guys are aware by now (at least the "core" group is, as we shared it in our chat).
Also, I've left a neutral feedback on your trust page pointing here to increase visibility.

And thanks for spreading the word.
You can export a key to another wallet then sign from there...

Yes I know what Elianite looks like and can confirm that this person sent me a email now holding a handwritten sign that was addressed to me and dated.
Again I would suggest that Elias sign his message as I believe that is considered more proof than just my statement.
I would also urge people to cease payments for the time being.

Agreed.

If there are only two scam victims, this is not a catastrophe. I'll wait for the dust to settle.

I am going to sleep shortly, and will not be readily reachable for much of tomorrow. Please PM or email me any info you have.

Can you sign your message, so we know who we are dealing with?
I will email you a photo & time stamp shortly. Please 'vouch' for me here once you receive it.
I know someone from your account has been dealing with Bitguy2016
I just PM'd with him; I can confirm that the individual who cc'd you was the hacker.
Why can't you openly sign here?
I think I just signed from my address (175M)
Can someone confirm?
