世界计算机犯罪活动始于20世纪60年代末,70年代迅速增长,80年代逐步形成了威胁。近年来,我国的计算机犯罪活动也日趋突出。公安部门统计资料表明,我国1988年至1989年发生计算机犯罪案件仅9起;1989年至1990年发生计算机犯罪案件上百起;到1993年,这个数字就已经变成了1000多起。特别是20世纪90年代后期,计算机犯罪的发案率更呈直线上升的趋势。目前,我国的计算机犯罪基本形成了覆盖范围广,涉及经济、政治和社会各个领域的特征,如何应对计算机犯罪问题已经迫在眉睫。 从我国发现第一个计算机病毒——“小球”开始,中国的计算机安全事业便走上了从无到有的发展之路,这其中有着许许多多鲜为人知的故事。为了让读者对我国的计算机安全发展史有一个简单的了解,我们特意邀请了多年来一直战斗在打击计算机犯罪活动第一线的罗仁东教授撰写此文,他以自己的亲身经历回顾了我国计算机安全事业十余年的光辉发展历程。 Computer crime in the world began in the late 1960s and then rapidly increased in the 1970s. It gradually formed a threat in the 1980s. In recent years, our country’s computer crime activities are also increasingly prominent. Statistics of the public security departments show that there were only 9 computer crimes in our country from 1988 to 1989; hundreds of computer crimes occurred between 1989 and 1990; and by 1993, this number had already become more than 1,000. Especially in the late 1990s, the incidence of cybercrime has risen linearly. At present, computer crime in our country has basically formed a broad coverage covering all the economic, political and social characteristics in various fields. How to deal with the issue of computer crime is imminent. From the discovery of China’s first computer virus, “Ball”, China’s computer security undertaking has embarked on a path of development from scratch with many little-known stories. In order to give readers a brief understanding of the history of the development of computer security in our country, we specially invited Professor Ren-Ren Luo, who has been fighting the first line of cracking down on computer crimes over the years, in writing this article. From his own personal experience, he reviewed our computer security Career more than ten years of glorious development.
