刑法教义学视角下流量劫持行为的性质探究

An Analysis of Criminal Nature of Flow Hijacking Under the Perspective of Doctrine

流量劫持是强制用户访问某些网站或网页的行为,根据对用户上网自主权侵犯程度的不同,可以将其划分为域名劫持和链路劫持两种类型。域名劫持行为通过修改用户计算机信息系统的数据,使用户不能访问目标网站或网页,既触犯了非法控制计算机信息系统罪,又触犯了破坏计算机信息系统罪,应按想象竞合犯的处断原则,以破坏计算机信息系统罪论处。链路劫持行为仅对用户上网造成一定的干扰,法益侵害程度较低且不能充足相关犯罪的构成要件,因而不应以犯罪论处。但这种行为侵犯了网络服务提供商的公平竞争利益,构成不正当竞争。

Flow hijacking is a kind of activity which forces internet user to visit certain website or webpage. On the degree of in- fringing user＇s autonomous rights of surfing the internet, it can be divided into domain hijacking and link hijacking. By changing the normal function of computer information system, domain hijacking makes user impossible to visit the target website or webpage. Thus, it constitutes both exercising illegal control over computer information system and destroying computer information system. According to the principle of punishing imaginative joiner offenses, it should be considered as destroying computer information system. Link hijacking brings certain negative impact on user＇s surfing the intemet. As the harm of such activity is relatively minimal, and it doesn＇t conform to the constituents of any crime, it should not be punished as a crime. However, since it infringes the commercial interests of network service providers, it should be treated as an unfair competition act.
