The author of Panda Incense Burning Virus is Li Jun, 25, from Xinzhou District, Wuhan. According to his family and friends, he did well in English and math in junior high school, but he still didn't get into senior high school. He is studying cement technology in a technical secondary school. After graduation, he took part in the vocational training course of network technology. His friend said that he was "self-taught, and most of his computer skills were taught by reading books." In 2004, Li Jun went to the network security companies in Beijing and Guangzhou to apply for a job, but both of them were rejected because of their low academic qualifications, so he began to write viruses in order to get back at the society and make money. In 2003, he wrote the virus "Wuhan Boy", and in 2005, he also wrote the QQ tail of the virus, updating the version of "Wuhan Boy" to "Wuhan Boy 2005".

With the spread of the "Panda Burning Incense" virus, the author Li Jun first sold the virus to 120 people online. The asking price of each set of products is 500 ~ 65,438+0,000 yuan, and the daily income is about 8,000 yuan. At most, he earned more than 1 10 million a day, so the author Li Jun directly made illegal profits of 1 10 million. Then the virus was rewritten and spread by 120 people. The spread of this 120 people has caused more than10 million computers to be infected with viruses. They sell stolen online games and QQ accounts for profit, and use virus-infected machines to form a "botnet", which brings traffic to some websites.

On February 12, 2007, the Hubei Provincial Public Security Bureau released a message on February 12, saying that according to the unified deployment, with the cooperation of public security organs in Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangxi, Tianjin, Guangdong, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Xinjiang, Henan and other places, Hubei webmasters cracked the case of producing and spreading the "panda burning incense" virus and arrested the virus author Li. Other important suspects: Lei Lei (male, 25 years old, from Xinzhou District, Wuhan), Wang Leyan (male, 22 years old, from Weihai, Shandong), Ye Peixin (male, 2 1 year old, from Wenzhou, Zhejiang), Zhang Shun (male, 23 years old, from Lishui, Zhejiang), Wang Zhe (male, 24 years old, from Xiantao, Hubei). This is a serious worm outbreak in China in recent years. Affect more companies and cause greater losses. And for some users who are negligent in prevention, the loss caused by the virus is more serious. Because this virus can steal user names and passwords, it has obvious profit-making purposes. Therefore, it is possible for the author to sell this virus as a commodity, which is quite different from ordinary virus producers who just entertain themselves or show off their strength or technology. In addition, after the producer Li Jun was arrested, he wrote drug rehabilitation software under the supervision of the public security.

On September 24th, 2007, the People's Court of Xiantao City, Hubei Province sentenced Li Jun to four years' imprisonment, Wang Leyan to two years and six months' imprisonment, Zhang Shun to two years' imprisonment and Lei Lei to one year's imprisonment for the crime of destroying computer information system, and recovered the illegal income from Li Jun, Wang Leyan and Zhang Shun.
