CNet News is reporting that fourteen arrests have been made in New Jersey in connection with the surge of debit card fraud that has swept the United States. The wave of fraud followed security breaches at OfficeMax and other businesses, all of whom apparently retained PIN numbers contrary to payment card standards.
The CNet article has a great quote:
