Based on that information, you will receive a message indicating whether your personal information may have been impacted by this incident.

No it doesn't. You receive a very weird message to check back on a future date. On Reddit people have been told to check back on September 11 or 12. I was told:

Thank you, Your enrollment date for TrustedID Premier is 09/12/2017. 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. For more information, visit the FAQ page."
Just unbelievable. They lose our critical data and tell us to "please cool your jets for a week [while we desperately figure out what to do now]."

My info was hacked during the OPM data losses, and I think a couple of other times. I did not sign up for OPM’s monitoring offer as the contract was awarded without competition and I think the second hack was awarded to a different company. My problem is that with every hack event the protection offered makes it necessary to give that company the keys to my information. So these protection companies are prime targets to hackers. I think that the initial loser of a person’s data should be required to monitor that person’s data for life, though in the case of OPM’s low bidder that was a croney of the Obamas that is probably not a good thing either. Maybe the initial company/govt agency that loses a person’s data should be required to pay a person a high scale fee so that an individual can chose their own monitoring/credit protection company, for life (the fee would increase in the future too). I would hope to stay with one company and not spread my info to numerous credit monitoring companies. (Hope this makes sense-dealing with bad cold!)

I got:

Thank You

—On fatwallet finance they’re saying you either get what I got, or a future date for credit monitoring. They offered to sign me up for premier but I’m pretty sure I’d have to pay for it since they claim I’m not impacted.
