It looks to me like the domain expired today, so they didn't hijack, just converted to their account pending your renewal or non-renewal.

I guess enom messed up then :) .... Btw, I've had problems with enom where I got an email saying "domain not available" and it was then in my account 1 day later.... (and yes, I did get charged $$).
