Actually, I think changing your password won't help.

You should make sure your device (iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows, MacOSX)
software, mail apps that you use (Yahoo, Google, etc.), whatever browser
you use (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, etc.), and your mail
client software (Thunderbird, etc.), if any, is up-to-date.  These attacks
are usually accomplished through opening a bogus mail or visiting a rigged
web site, and using Javascript and other scripting language to steal
address books and contacts.

It's also quite possible that this happened months ago when Linkedin
discovered the leak.  They have subsequently patched it up.
