恶意公布、售卖计算机安全漏洞行为入罪化的思考

Criminalization of Ill Publishing or Selling Computer Security Holes

恶意公布、售卖计算机安全漏洞,几乎是所有网络犯罪的源发行为。在网络犯罪已经逐渐开始形成"产业链"的今天,从源头上打击具有巨大社会危害性的恶意公布、售卖计算机安全漏洞行为,可以起到釜底抽薪的作用。在传统刑法视野中,恶意公布、售卖计算机安全漏洞往往会被评价为其他网络犯罪的帮助行为,因而造成了此类行为在定罪量刑上的天然依附性,造成了司法实践中难以定罪和量刑过低的司法困境。考察帮助行为在立法上进行实行犯化的具体模式,将恶意公布、售卖计算机安全漏洞行为加以独立入罪化是当务之急。

Since nearly all net crimes originate from ill publishing or selling computer security holes, at present when the crimes are becoming a series of industrial activities, cracking down them should no doubt be deemed a drastic measure. From the angle of traditional criminal law, ill publishing or selling computer security holes may readily be held an assisting act of other net offenses and thus may bear of a color of dependence while it is being convicted and sentenced, which has resulted in that in judicial practice it is hard to convict such an act or the punishment for it is too lenient. Thus, it is urgent to find a way to specify such an assisting act as a substantive one in legislation so as to criminalize it separately.
