I emailed their support and a couple other addresses but if someone actually knows people there they should let them know.

If this happened to everyone on their distribution list, I suspect they know now.
In case anyone is looking for how many emails it takes to get me to unsubscribe from your newsletter, 8 emails in 8 minutes should do the trick.

I was on a badly set-up mailing list once where someone has set their out of office, which replied to the list, which emailed the response to all including the OOO person,which posted to the list.. you see the problem! There was a whole night of this.
I was on a student placement at the time and as I had only mamanged to unsub after about several thousand emails I spent a few nervous hours awaiting Sauron's gaze from IT support.

Looks like it was a problem from MailChimp:
