Gulshan Management Services, Inc. Data Breach

Gulshan Management Services, Inc. (“GMS”) has announced a data security incident involving unauthorized access to its network. According to the notice, an unauthorized third party may have accessed certain GMS systems and viewed personal information belonging to individuals whose data GMS manages on behalf of its business clients.

Upon discovering the incident, GMS initiated its incident response protocols and secured affected systems. A third‑party forensic investigation determined that an unauthorized actor may have accessed personal information including names, contact details, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, and driver’s license numbers.

Following the investigation, GMS began issuing formal notification letters to affected individuals and implemented additional security measures, including resetting all network credentials, rebuilding compromised systems, installing enhanced threat‑monitoring tools, and strengthening privileged‑access requirements.

Gulshan Management Services, Inc. is a Texas-based company established in 1976 that operates over 150 Handi Plus and Handi Stop convenience stores and gas stations, often affiliated with Shell and ExxonMobil.

The impacted data relates to individuals whose information was stored within GMS’s systems at the time of the unauthorized access. As part of its response, GMS has notified law enforcement and regulatory bodies and is offering 24 months of complimentary identity monitoring services through Kroll.

If you received a Data Breach notification letter from Gulshan Management Services, Inc., it confirms that your personal information may have been accessed and/or acquired by an unauthorized party.

What information is involved in the Gulshan Management Services Data Breach?

Compromised information may include:

Your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) includes details that can directly identify you, and exposure of this type of data significantly increases the risk of identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized account activity. Organizations handling this information must follow strict state and federal data privacy requirements to safeguard it.

If Protected Health Information (PHI) was involved, the exposed data may include medical information protected under HIPAA and state privacy laws. PHI exposure increases the risk of medical fraud, insurance fraud, and unauthorized use of confidential health data.

While GMS has not reported any confirmed fraudulent activity stemming from the incident, the exposure of PII—particularly Social Security numbers and financial account data—poses heightened risks for identity theft, account takeover, tax fraud, loan fraud, and other forms of misuse.

If your data was included in this breach, it is important to remain vigilant in monitoring financial statements, credit reports, and any unexpected communications regarding your accounts or identity.

Residents of California benefit from enhanced privacy protections under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which provides additional rights regarding the collection, storage, and protection of personal information. California residents may also have additional legal remedies when personal data is compromised in a breach.

GMS advises affected individuals to activate their complimentary Kroll identity monitoring services and closely review financial and credit‑related statements for any suspicious activity.
