Clerk's notes

Informa, a company involved in business intelligence, events, and digital media, filed a report with the Maine Attorney General on May 8, 2026, concerning a data security incident. The report, submitted by Informa Exhibitions U.S. Construction and Real Estate, Inc. and Informa TechTarget, confirms that an unauthorized party may have gained access to certain information.

The current status of this incident, as per the filing, is listed as "investigating." This means that the details surrounding the breach are still being reviewed by authorities and Informa to fully understand the scope and impact on affected individuals.

While the specific categories of data involved were not detailed in the public notice, if you received a notification letter from Informa, it indicates that your personal information was potentially compromised during this event. It is important to review any data you may have shared with Informa, particularly if you have attended their events or used their digital platforms.

For those who received a direct notification, it is advisable to carefully read the communication from Informa for any specific recommendations they provide. Taking proactive measures to protect your identity and financial security is a prudent course of action following any data incident.

Such measures commonly include monitoring your financial statements and credit reports for any suspicious activity. You may also consider placing fraud alerts or security freezes on your credit files, especially if you have concerns about potential misuse of your information. Updating passwords for any online accounts that may be linked to Informa services is another recommended step.

Understanding the full implications of a data security incident can be complex. If you are among the individuals who received a data breach notification from Informa, you may wish to discuss your situation and potential legal options with a qualified attorney.
