So probably it should be structured like this:

               _________ leak
             /
hijack ----------------- mis-origination (which should be better 
described as: I originate P when I don't have the right to)
            \__________ origin scrubbing (I like that)

It's a hijack (the result)  in any case. If you want to differentiate 
between malice and stupidity/ignorance just call it "malicious hijack" 
opposed to  "accidental hijack". And then list the cause (leak, 
mis-origination, origin scrubbing)

Cheers,
