提供侵入、非法控制计算机信息系统程序、工具罪的限缩解释——以打击对象为切入

Constrictive Interpretation on the Crime of Providing Tools for Intruding into or Illegally Controlling Computer Information Systems:from Target Perspective

受从严打击网络犯罪刑事政策的影响,提供侵入、非法控制计算机信息系统程序、工具罪成为规制非法网络技术帮助行为的兜底性罪名之一,其打击对象从最初的“木马病毒”扩展到“外挂软件”“翻墙软件”“网络爬虫”等具有一定中立性的软件,打击范围的持续扩张使其呈现出口袋化趋势。该罪逐渐被滥用的原因在于,司法解释未对“侵入”“计算机信息系统安全保护措施”等专业名词做出合理解释,导致司法工作人员在理解“专门用于侵入、非法控制计算机信息系统的程序、工具”时存在偏差,混淆了“数据”“控制”等术语的技术判断与法律评价。为防止该罪的口袋化趋势,我们应从技术和法律两个层面解读其构成要素,为司法机关提供清晰的定罪标准。

Influenced by the criminal policy of cracking down on cyber crime,the Crime of Providing Program Tools for Intruding into or Illegally Controlling Computer Information Systems has become one of the basic crimes of regulating illegal network technology assistance.The regulation target of this crime has expanded from the initial"Trojan horse virus"to"plug-in software","Virtual Private Network"and"web crawler",which have certain neutrality.The continuous expansion of regulation target makes it show a pocket trend.The reason why the crime is abused gradually is that the judicial interpretation does not give a reasonable explanation to the professional terms such as"intrusion"and"computer information system security protection measures",which leads to the deviation of judicial staff in understanding program tools specially used for"intrusion and illegal control of computer information systems"and confuses the technical attributes and legal evaluation of terms such as"data"and"control".In order to prevent this crime from becoming pocket-oriented,we should interpret its constituent elements from both technical and legal aspects,and provide clear conviction standards for judicial organs.
