I did dump the private key planning to write it out on paper...

Since the hack I deleted my hacked wallet.dat
then restarted core to generate a new address and made a new passphrase.

My anti virus scan didn't catch anything

Is my NEW address also compromised?
Does it not generate a new private key?

If your PC's server is hacked anyhow, then I guess nothing that is put on it should be considered as "SAFE" tbh.
Btw, as you received some more coins today over your address, I want to know that were they also sent by the hacker only or you sent them to some other address? As everyone asked, did you try to IMPORT/EXPORT your key to/from somewhere else? Because it makes your key prone to getting hacked as it's all online and if not, then possibly there's someone who had access to your PC either through the network or "by personally using it from your space" < (this looks less likely).

Your NEW address is not compromised unless it has a new PRIVATE KEY (yes, it is obvious that whenever you use a new address, it has its own identity or I must say: PRIVATE KEY). But when you know now that you have had been attacked like this, why don't you stop using these services from the same PC (if everything happened offline) and start using it from another PC (not a public computer).

So your PC is compromised or hacked in any way.

Remove the drive from the computer, add it to another PC as secondary and scan it for viruses and malware with more than one antivirus

Most likely dumping the private key out of the wallet and into either a text file or the screen has allowed someone to get access to your private key... It is the only logical explanation for why all your coins got moved without you transferring them.

It is hard to know if your new wallet is compromised or not... The only way to be completely sure is to completely wipe the entire system, reformat and reinstall your operating system...

Passphrase and/or locked wallet ONLY affects the wallet.dat file... if the hacker had your private key, then all the passphrases in the world won't save you. Did you ever export the private key for the address: 1Q1PDnwmbFkNaYbpsiPVUBJe1pEM7m8zYH? Huh

As annmarie suggested, that entire wallet should be considered compromised and you should no longer receive ANY coins to it. I recommended moving any coins you have left to a new wallet immediately. I see that 1Q1PDnwmbFkNaYbpsiPVUBJe1pEM7m8zYH just received more coins today. You need to STOP using that address immediately and move those coins as soon as possible.  Shocked

You should probably also scan your computer for viruses/malware.

I recently tried adding  blockchain wallet and bitcoin.com wallet

One of these must have exposed me to the theft?

If you didn't send it then someone has access to your private key. if you have any other wallets on your computer with bitcoin in them consider them compromised and move them to a clean computers wallet straight away.

there isnt a way you can reverse transactions.

I did NOT SEND THIS TX

My wallet is core and I had a passphrase and it was locked.
I changed my passphrase after the TX...

So somehow I fucked up and all my coins were send to this address
1ARHwvB4nKVPhRRgvdJCctxXwogi1ePbu2

Any way to track or reverse it?

It was a hack ? Or you did a accidental "swaping" between service ?
