This may be a good time to change your Facebook, Twitter, Google, and other passwords.

CNN Money reports that hackers have stolen usernames and passwords for nearly two million accounts at Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo and others.

The massive data breach was a result of keylogging software maliciously installed on an untold number of computers around the world, researchers at cybersecurity firm Trustwave said. The virus was capturing log-in credentials for key websites over the past month and sending those usernames and passwords to a server controlled by the hackers.

On Nov. 24, Trustwave researchers tracked that server, located in the Netherlands. They discovered compromised credentials for more than 93,000 websites including Twitter, Yahoo, Gmail, LinkedIn, to name a few.

Identity theft is a serious issue and you never know what sensitive information you might have in those emails. To avoid any unnecessary headaches from your information being compromised, just change those passwords and make it a habit to periodically change change them.

Some tips for creating a strong password

Make sure your password:

- Is at least eight characters long.
- Does not contain your user name, real name, or company name.
- Does not contain a complete word.
- Is significantly different from previous passwords.
- Contains characters from each of the following four categories:
- Uppercase letters
- Lowercase letters
- Numbers
- Symbols
