Several charged in card fraud cases

The U.S. Secret Service has made several arrests in connection with a wave of debit-card fraud that forced several banks and credit unions to reissue millions of cards in recent months. The arrests were part of a broader Secret Service investigation that has so far led to the arrests of 21 people on charges related to online identity theft and credit-and debit-card fraud.
