If you are affected by the new rule and have an existing ESTA authorisation at some stage US CBP will notify you (by email?) that the authorisation has been revoked and advise what you need to do (including special cases with imminent travel to USA).

At some stage the new rule will come into effect and at that point new ESTA applications will incorporate this.
How will US CBP know for sure if the ESTA holder has visited one of the "problem" countries to revoke his existing ESTA authorization?
