I got the same page, but then I tried putting in a fake name and got: > Thank You > Based on the information provided, we believe that your personal information was not impacted by this incident. So if you just get the enrollment date, I think that means you’re affected.

You can proceed with the enrollment anyway, even if you receive that message, with any set of six digits and any set of characters for the last name and receive a message indicating that you're enrolled. I watched the video of the CEO describing what Equifax was doing in response to the incident and he does not specifically name "equifaxsecurity2017.com" or "trustedidpremier.com" as the sites they've set up, only that they've set up a special website.

  To that end: if you're an HN user with the last name "HHHHHH" and with a Social Security number ending in 000000, don't worry about enrolling. I very helpfully took care of it for you!

From the r/personalfinance thread, the site kicks back 3 different JSON status messages: "message-deferred": "Thank You -- Your enrollment date for TrustedID Premier is: xxxxxx Please be sure to mark your calendar as you will not receive additional reminders. On or after your enrollment date, please return to faq.trustedidpremier.com and click the link to continue through the enrollment process." "message-success": "Thank You -- Based on the information provided, we believe that your personal information may have been impacted by this incident. Click the button below to continue your enrollment in TrustedID Premier." "message-not-impacted": "Thank You -- Based on the information provided, we believe that your personal information was not impacted by this incident. Click the button below to continue your enrollment in TrustedID Premier"

  So... later date means they don't know yet? Or you have been impacted and you're only eligible to enroll later?

    I really don't know. If we take it at face value, I think it means they're unsure and will hopefully know more later (whatever date it kicks back). At least, that's what I hope, because I gave in and punched in my information and I received the deferred message.

I don't think so: "Regardless of whether your information may have been impacted, we will provide you the option to enroll in TrustedID Premier. You will receive an enrollment date."
