KANSAS CITY, Mo. - If you're not planning a trip to the store and instead taking advantage of the Cyber Monday deals, you may want to think twice before you shop online at work.

A survey by Robert Half Technology found 60 percent of workers will block online access to online shopping sites while 23 percent will monitor employees for excessive use.

Internet security experts say all online shoppers using either a mobile or desktop need to be aware of things like online coupon scams and offers and holiday phishing scams, especially those involving the well-known delivery services.
