Informa Data Breach Notification: Steps for Maine Residents

Informa Exhibitions U.S. Construction and Real Estate, Inc., along with other Informa U.S. entities and Informa TechTarget, has recently reported a data security incident. This incident, filed with the Maine Attorney General on May 8, 2026, indicates that unauthorized parties gained access to personal information. If you have received a notification letter from Informa, it means your personal data may have been affected.

Informa operates as a major global business intelligence, events, and digital media company. Their operations involve collecting and storing substantial amounts of personal information. The reported incident means that the information involved in their systems was potentially compromised by an unauthorized party, creating risks for those whose data was exposed.

Receiving a data breach notification can be unsettling, but taking immediate action is important. We advise you to carefully review the notification letter from Informa for any specific recommendations they might have provided. It is also wise to remain vigilant by monitoring your financial accounts and other personal information for any unusual or suspicious activity.

Consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit reports with the three major credit bureaus. Also, be wary of unexpected emails, texts, or phone calls that claim to be from Informa or other entities, as these could be phishing attempts. Changing passwords for any online accounts that might be linked to the exposed information is a good preventative measure.
