If you received a data breach notification from Gallagher Transport International Inc., it indicates your personal information was compromised. The company, an international freight forwarder operating in Texas, reported a security incident on September 25, 2026, affecting its systems and the data it held.

The exposed data includes critical categories such as Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Financial Account Number, Routing Number, Home Address, Phone Number, and Tax Identification Information.

What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

    File your tax return as early as possible and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN so no one can file a fraudulent return in your name.

    Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.

    Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.

  • Keep your notification letter
