How do you know if this affects you?

  That's what I came here for too. They have a site (go to Equifax for a notification banner) but providing the information they want just tells me to check back later. From the text I would assume I wasn't impacted, despite the fact that it seems almost everyone who used the site would have been. Edit: Seems that if you have a date you're impacted. https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/6yq36a/equifax_reports_cyber_incident_may_affect_143/dmpbqlr/ https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/6yq36a/equ...

    Have a date? Thanks for the info will check it out, I suppose one saving grace for me is my credit is destroyed. edit: that's funny "I know we just lost your SSN, but could you type it in again?" Also curious if by asking for the last six makes search faster, probably. site to check impact: https://trustedidpremier.com/eligibility/eligibility.html https://trustedidpremier.com/eligibility/eligibility.html Edit that link (trusted) doesn't even say equifax in it, pulled it from Reddit, would be funny if it was a phishing site Edit: this one looks more legit https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/potential-impact/ https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/potential-impact/ Still not the main domain

  If you live/lived in the usa, and have ever had credit here, this affects you.

  As far as I've understood, if you're an American with a credit card.
