Linkers,
Given the recent LinkedIn concerns, I was alert when this came today. 
Note the envelope is not via linked in, but that there is a path 
point that *is* LinkedIn, unless that is also faked by the spammer. 
The 'From' line is easy to fake. Anyone have any insight on decoding 
email headers to see if this is a result of the recent LinkedIn 
breach? I don't know any of these people, so I shouldn't be in their 
personal contact information and I'm pretty well locked down in 
LinkedIn regarding exposure of anything much.
