Is Li Jun, the creator of the "Panda Burning Incense" virus, in jail now or is he famous and successful?

On September 24, 2007, he was sentenced to 4 years in prison by the People’s Court of Xiantao City, Hubei Province for the crime of damaging computer information systems. On the afternoon of December 24, 2009, Li Jun was released from prison early due to his good behavior in prison. Later, he was sentenced to three years in prison and fined 80,000 yuan each by the court for collaborating with others to open an online casino. Those born in the 2000s may not be so clear about it, but those born in the 1990s and 1980s must still have memories of the “Panda Burning Incense” incident that occurred in 2007. "Panda Burning Incense" is a very famous computer virus in China because it is extremely contagious and even caused the paralysis of some local area networks at the time.

On January 3, 2010, Li Jun visited Kingsoft, a well-known domestic software company, and submitted his first resume in Beijing. Li Jun said that a few years ago, because he did not understand the law, he created the panda incense burning virus, which ultimately violated the law. After the changes in the past few years, he now hopes to be able to repay society after coming out. I hope that actually doing something can make others change their views on hackers in the past. In the end, Li Jun, the author of Panda Burning Incense, was hired as an Internet security observer at Kingsoft Security. Kingsoft Security had intended to let Li Jun join as customer service, but the salary of only 3,000 yuan was unacceptable to Li Jun. Other security manufacturers such as Ruixing, Qihoo, and Jiangmin were all indifferent to Li Jun's visit. One of the companies directly refused Li Jun's visit, which made Li Jun feel disappointed and embarrassed.

After being released from prison in December 2009, Li Jun looked for job opportunities in Beijing. Not long ago, Li Jun opened his personal Weibo. In his Weibo, he wrote about the outbreak of the 3Q war, "The anti-software market is really chaotic! Those who develop rogue software and operating systems have started to develop anti-virus software. Chat tools and search engines also need anti-virus software.

Unfortunately, they only think about using netizens as resources, and no one thinks about doing things for netizens. I will build an anti-virus software for everyone, and it will only be used for anti-virus. Do you like it?" This news attracted more than 5,000 Weibo netizens in less than half a day after it was released. Many netizens suggested that Li Jun's green software should be named "Panda Antivirus".
