LinkedIn values your privacy. At no time has LinkedIn made your email address available to any other LinkedIn user without your permission. © 2012, LinkedIn Corporation.
The malicious payload (report here) is at [donotclick]108.178.59.26/bv6rcs3v1ithi.php?w=6de4412e62fd13be (Singlehop, US) in a block 108.178.59.0/26 suballocated to a person in Italy. A further malicious download is attempted from [donotclick]myasuslaptop.com/updateflashplayer.exe which appears to be a legitimate (but hacked site).
My personal preference with any emails purporting to be from LinkedIn is to block them at the perimeter. As far as most businesses are concerned it is simply a playground for recruiters trying to poach your staff..
