Identity theft is the crime of obtaining the personal or financial information of another person for the sole purpose of assuming that person's name or identity to make transactions or use it to post inappropriate remarks, comments etc.

In the morning, his twin brother, Flex started using the computer. He used Flex’s email account to send inappropriate messages to his contacts.
