Is this the perfect recipe for a cybercriminal ?:
1. Hacking LinkedIn's password (and probably user-) database.
2. Sending an email to all obtained email addresses, which is urging you to check your LinkedIn inbox as soon as possible.
3. A user unawarely clicking on the link.
4. An exploit gets loaded. Malware gets dropped. Malware gets executed.
5. User's computer is now a zombie (part of a botnet).
I would definitely say YES.
