*** IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT DVD PACIFIC ***
Those of you who have ever ordered from DVD Pacific may have received
a "security" email from DVD Pacific, in which they state they may have been
compromised (but that they can not find any evidence) and send you a new
password to login to your account.
Well... it's not a "may be compromised" -- it is highly likely (part of) their
user database INCLUDING CREDITCARD DETAILS
has been compromised.
Although I reacted a bit slow/late to it, my cc company (Master Card) spotted
the potential abuse and blocked my card, but I still got charged for € 150 for
things I never asked for.
See this thread on AnimeOnDVD for more information:

Important: it's to late to delete your info at DVD Pacific -- consider the information
already comprimised! I recommend to check your CC statements carefully for charges
you are unfamiliar with and/or call your CC company and ask about recent transactions,
although it's possible to trouble occured a while ago -- in my case between June 30 - July 3.
And although I won't say that I won't order from DVD Pacific again (as they're to
good otherwise for that), let's say I'll avoid them for the next few months. Not that
I actually can spare the cash to buy DVDs anyway (got to buy books for school etc).
