Millions of Americans are expected to do some online holiday shopping this Cyber Monday.
State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is giving out security tips to help keep shoppers safe.
Schneiderman says consumers should only shop on secure Internet connections, only process payments on 'https' web pages, and use credit cards as opposed to debit cards.
He also says to be wary of surprisingly good contests and prize promotions, and watch out for hidden shipping costs.
