Some Blockchain research on the scam:

I think most of the BTC is now here (last transaction just 2 hours ago, so he's busy moving the money  Angry):
https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1FsVcdeHbpvUVT3gjeuVR2ZSDnpcsJMsLL

It was previously on:
https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1JvAoBTTgF36Xj7gJkpfcNHsBA8tMSyfHb

This transaction for example, has five btc 0.47704704 payments, which was the price for the 150GH/s server that day.

An interesting graph of the received payments:

What is this address where it ended up 1FsVcdeHbpvUVT3gjeuVR2ZSDnpcsJMsLL?

I lost 748.75 bitcoins on the 23rd of September 2014, most of which ended up at 1FsVcdeHbpvUVT3gjeuVR2ZSDnpcsJMsLL. I'm very interested to know who controls it. I suspect the hack resulted from the bash bug. Attack vectors could be from using the public wifi of Puri Dewa Bharata Hotel & Villas in Legian, Bali, Indonesia or an employee at Blizzard slipping in code into the update, as coins were moved very shortly after updating StarCraft II.

My set up was Bitcoin-QT unencrypted on Mac OS X 10.9.4.

Yes, I probably should have used cold storage or multi-sig. Facepalm. Sad
