My colleague, Dr Mehrdad, is quite an expert in this. Have a look at his paper. It's full of info. (Here for me, the challenge is predatory journals, and less of hijacked journals.)

If a journal is contacting you asking for submissions, it is almost certainly predatory and/or hijacked. Legitimate journals don't generally solicit submissions unless you're pretty famous (in which case you probably already know the journal well enough to know if it's legitimate or not). If you get a message from a journal that you're not familiar with, and you hadn't contacted them first, ignore it.
