You had it all right til this part. When you entered your YAhoo ID and Password at that site you enabled the phishers to use your Yahoo ID and password to access your buddy list. Then they used a worm type program to send out IMs with the link to all your buddies.

It does not help anyone at all to post who sent what. It is irrelevant. It's a phishing scam and no one who became involved did so intentionally. Tracing who was victimized first doesn't solve any mystery it just makes people feel bad.

Please report any messages you receive on Yahoo IM containing the link to Yahoo security.
