Got a notice from Informa (including Informa Exhibitions U.S. Construction and Real Estate, Inc., other Informa U.S. entities, and Informa TechTarget)? Here’s what to do.

Informa recently reported a data security incident where unauthorized parties accessed their systems. If you received a letter, it means your personal information may have been exposed. This is important because your data could now be at risk.

Your checklist

  1. 1

    Keep the letter

    Save the notice from Informa (including Informa Exhibitions U.S. Construction and Real Estate, Inc., other Informa U.S. entities, and Informa TechTarget) and its envelope. The date you were told can matter for legal deadlines.

  2. 2

    Freeze your credit

    The filing does not list what was taken, so play it safe. A free freeze at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion stops new accounts being opened in your name.

  3. 3

    Change reused passwords

    Change any password you used with this company or reused elsewhere, and turn on two-factor sign-in.

  4. 4

    Get a free claim review

If you received a letter from Informa, it means your personal information was involved in a recent security incident. This multinational company, known for business intelligence and organizing large events, confirmed that unauthorized parties gained access to their systems.

The incident took place around August 11, 2025. Informa reported this breach to the Texas Attorney General on April 22, 2026, and is continuing to investigate. Your notification letter confirms that your personal information was likely among the data accessed during this event.

Your first step is to carefully read the notification letter from Informa. It may offer suggestions or services like credit monitoring. Regardless, consider placing a fraud alert on your credit reports with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. This makes it harder for someone to open new accounts using your identity.

Over the next few months, regularly check your bank and credit card statements. Look for any charges you don't recognize. Also, review your credit reports for any new accounts or unusual activity. You can get free copies of your credit reports once a year from annualcreditreport.com.

If you are feeling worried about what this breach means for your personal information, you may have legal options. Our team offers a free, no-obligation review of your situation. We can help you understand the next steps and if you might qualify to pursue a claim.

Informa data breach questions

Is the Informa data breach letter legit or a scam?
A notice from Informa in the mail matches the breach Informa reported to the Texas Attorney General on April 22, 2026. Check that the company name and dates in your letter match that filing. A real notice of data security incident won't ask for your password, Social Security number or a payment — if it does, contact Informa through a phone number or website you find yourself.
Did Informa offer free credit monitoring?
Look for an enrollment code in your Informa notice. Companies that offer free credit monitoring after a breach usually include it there, with a deadline to activate. Using the free service won't stop you from joining a lawsuit or settlement later.
Is there a Informa data breach class action lawsuit?
Law firms often open an investigation after a breach notice like this one, and a class action lawsuit may follow. This page doesn't confirm that a lawsuit has been filed against Informa. You usually don't have to join a class action to be included — if a settlement is reached, class members are notified and can file a claim.
What should I do after getting the Informa data breach notice?
Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
Do I need a Informa data breach lawyer or attorney?
An attorney can read your notice and tell you whether a claim makes sense. A case review here is free, and data breach cases are usually handled on contingency, so there is no upfront cost.
Can I sue Informa over the data breach?
It depends on what was exposed, the law in Texas and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
How much could a Informa data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no Informa settlement is confirmed here. In past data breach settlements, payments depended on what data was exposed and on documented losses — fraud, out-of-pocket costs and time spent dealing with the breach. Keep receipts and records; they're what damages claims are built on.
