I have a snap on an expired .org where the admin email is in Redemption Period.
Now I notice the admin email domain is snapped and there could only be one reason for it: to hijack the other domain.
What do to?

I think You can`t to nothing, only if the person gets the name and then hijack`s this .org, Then report it to ICANN.

Is the admin domain a valuable one? Even average domains are snapped up nowadays.

Even there is a hijack attempt, very little can be done. You won't alert the .org owner their admin email is expired right? I once saw an actual hijack so I alerted the previous owner, but I've already wasted my snap :sad:.

admin email domain name will drop first or your .ORG ?

If that email domain drop first, then you don't have the chance to have that .ORG, they may redeem it. :D

If you really want that .ORG, try to bid on NW for that amdin email. :D

You could attempt to pay for the renewal of the admin email domain. Try visiting the payment site for the registrar, that would stop it dropping.

is the admin email name a good one if so the snap may be coincidence and not an issue

two in redemption you need to be old owner i dont know if having admin is good enough maybe but dont know and the cost of stealing the name even with the admin email is high

buying the email address for other then prevention is fraud and not suggested and the option of renewing a name you dont own which most registers have stopped may also be a potentialy fraudulent act but not sure.

if this is your business you only have one reputation and i would be careful with it

just my thoughts
