Thanks for the response. Blockchain.info doesn't show it going through to that address, so that's good news. Hadn't thought about that.

Now if Poloniex would just respond to the ticket that I opened a week ago, that'd be really great.

ICO? Not even once.
I don't tink you can withdraw without the email confirmation. Question is, is your email account also compromised?

And if I remember correctly the confirmation email should have the address to which you try to withdraw - which you can check in a block explorer.

So, I did a stupid and didn't enable 2FA on my Poloniex account. Several hours ago, I received an email stating that I had logged in from a new IP address, which was not the case. 2FA was enabled automatically as a result of that login, based on the email that I got. Shortly after, another email asking for confirmation of a .65BTC withdrawal came through. As soon as I found these emails, I froze the account. Best guess is that I got the emails and froze it up about 2 hours after the withdrawal was ordered.

Support ticket is open and I'm waiting to hear back from them. What are the odds that the email confirmation system worked and I still have my bitcoin?
