I understand how frustrating this can be for you who have received one of these emails, and I personally thank you for keeping those tinfoil hats on tight.
It wasn't that frustrating for me - it's phishing, I see them all the time, but I thought it was clever to use an email platform to perform a phishing attack against itself.
This meant that it passed basic 'is this forged' checks because of that (eg it was DKIM signed by Mailchimp). Thankfully, (a) I've learned to be ultra-suspicious, and (b) I'm fairly sure I just have a free Mailchimp account, so why I'd be asked to check my billing details was suspicious.
I didn't know it was already known about, so I reported it :-) Normally I don't bother because I know there's nothing that the phishee can reasonably do about it, but in this case there was.
