I deleted my account over 6 months ago but my password hash (strong unique password) is in the file. Either (a) the file retains passwords of deleted accounts, (b) the file was stolen over 6 months ago and LinkedIn didn't know about it, or (c) the file was stolen over 6 months ago and LinkedIn DID know about it and were hoping it wouldn't show up online.
