Latvian translation:(lietotāja) ļaunprātīga novirzīšana
Explanation:
Ļaunprātīga izmantošana seems a bit too generic, though. It appears that whoever translated the passage about VAT has merely paraphrased the ST sentence. Since the provided definition clearly shows a very specific action directed towards the end user of a website and there is an apparently accepted term for redirecting - novirzīt (per termini.lza.lv), I propose that ļaunprātīga novirzīšana or a similar term be used instead, since it more accurately describes the actual action.

ļaunprātīga izmantošana


Explanation:
hijacking also highjacking
Most probably exact term in Latvian has not been created yet. Therefore I would suggest this context related translation.

Example sentence(s):
  • ...in cases where the customer is a (potential) missing trader or uses a hijacked VAT registration
  • ...kad attiecīgais klients ir (potenciāls) trūkstošais tirgotājs vai tas ir ļaunprātīgi izmantojis PVN reģistrācijas numuru

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks a lot, Linda. Yes, there is no appropriate term in termini.lza.lv. In the study book on IT the definition is as follows: Redirecting anyone trying to visit a certain website elsewhere.

nolaupīšanas programmatūras izmantošana


Explanation:
Hijacking jeb nolaupīšanas programmatūras mērķis ir veikt kaitīgas darbības operētājsistēmas normālo procesu vietā bez lietotāja atļaujas.
Nolaupīšanas programmatūras biežāk redzamās sekas ir pārlūka lapu pārvirzīšana uz apšaubāmas izcelsmes vietnēm ar nolūku iegūt Jūsu konfidenciālo informāciju, piemēram, kredītkartes datus.

Hijacking ir daudz veidu, tāpēc ļaunprātīga novirzīšana (malicious redirecting) šķiet pārāk šaura interpretācija.

http://www.techopedia.com/search.aspx?q=hijacking§ion=te...

Page hijacking - a technical form of redirecting Web traffic that exploits certain glitches in search engines.

Account hijacking - a process through which an individual’s email account, computer account or any other account associated with a computing device or service is stolen or hijacked by a hacker.

Domain hijacking is broadly defined as an attempt to transfer ownership or control of a domain from its rightful owner.

Homepage hijacking refers to unauthorized browser changes that alter the homepage when a user opens a Web browser.

Session hijacking occurs when a session token is sent to a client browser from the Web server following the successful authentication of a client logon.

Hijackware is a type of malware that only affects the Internet browser and its settings. This malware typically changes a user's preferred browser configurations, which may include changing the user's default homepage, adding a different default search engine, modifying bookmarks to add a malicious or undesired website and inserting browser tool bars. In most scenarios, hijackware comes as a bundled application that's hidden within a freeware browser application or add-on. Once the user installs the primary application, the hijackware is activated along with it.

Example sentence(s):
  • Iespējojiet divpakāpju verifikāciju, lai aizsargātu savu kontu pret nolaupīšanu.... Enable 2-step verification to protect your account from hijacking...
