Andrew Munn put it the best (except it should have been "In horror...". I went through the whole curve, long time ago (see https://plus.google.com/112065430692128821190/posts/Ctf8ZDfDn8B), as did many others. I don't trust some random companies, nor do I trust LinkedIn all that much, but I did not expect it to be that bad. It's appalling LinkedIn simply stored SHA-1, unsalted and unstreched. That's only one notch above storing passwords in plaintext. For the record, my password seemingly wasn't leaked, but I changed it anyway.
