Abstract

In judicial practice, the conviction of DNS hijacking has been highly controversial. The relevant crimes of this act mainly include the crime of illegally controlling computer information systems, the crime of destroying computer information systems, the crime of theft, etc. However, the distinction between "illegal control" and "destruction" is not clearly defined in the Chinese Criminal or in related judicial interpretations. There are still no uniform rules on whether "Traffic" can be considered as a form of property. These all are important issues that affect the conviction of DNS hijacking. Therefore, it is necessary to set a unified criminal control standard for the identification of this act. By distinguishing between different subjective purposes of DNS hijacking and different functions of the means of hijacking, it is easy to identify "illegal control" and "destruction". Meanwhile, by reasonably considering "Website Traffic" as a "property", the act of DNS hijacking could also be regulated by the crime of theft. Therefore, DNS hijacking constitutes both the crime of theft and a corresponding computer-based crime. According to the Chinese Criminal, this is an imaginary competition, and it should be punished as a felony.
