After minor received another person’s password and account information, he used it to gain access to her Facebook and posted obscene messages on two pages and altered her profile.

Pen. Code §530.5(a). See, In re Rolando S. (Cal. App. Fifth Dist.; July 21, 2011) (As Mod. August 10, 2011) 197 Cal.App.4th 936, 129 Cal.Rptr.3d 49; 2011 DJDAR 11069].
