About Gallagher Transport International Inc.
Gallagher Transport International Inc. is a U.S. Customs Broker that has provided customs clearance and global logistics services since 1990. The company was originally founded in Portland, Oregon and later opened a Denver, Colorado office in 1997. Its services include customs brokerage, freight forwarding, cargo insurance, import/export compliance, and household goods shipping. Because customs brokers handle international trade documentation on behalf of individuals and businesses, they routinely collect sensitive identifying information — making the exposure of Social Security Numbers and Government ID Numbers in this incident particularly significant. Note: this company is not affiliated with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., the unrelated insurance brokerage firm.
What Happened?
Gallagher Transport International Inc. was listed in a Vermont Attorney General breach report summary dated September 25th, 2026. The report identifies the organization as an “Other Commercial” entity and states that the breach involved names or other personal identifiers combined with Social Security Numbers and Government ID Numbers. The total number of persons affected and the date of consumer notification were not specified in the report. No breach notification letter was publicly available at the time of research.
Separately, dark web monitoring sources add context to the timeline. The Sinobi ransomware group posted a claim against Gallagher Transport International (gallaghertransport.com) on a leak site, first observed on January 27th, 2026. Breachsense also lists the company as associated with the Sinobi threat actor, with a discovery date of January 28th, 2026. These are attacker-side allegations and have not been publicly confirmed by the company or independently verified as a ransomware incident. The roughly eight-month gap between the ransomware group’s January 2026 claim and the September 2026 Vermont AG filing may suggest delayed notification, though the precise timeline of the underlying incident has not been publicly detailed.

What Should You Do?
If your information was involved in this breach, act promptly to protect yourself. Social Security Numbers and Government ID Numbers are among the most sensitive data types because they can be used to open fraudulent accounts or commit identity theft. Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with all three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — and monitor your credit reports regularly through AnnualCreditReport.com. Review your financial accounts for any unauthorized activity and report any suspected identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov. If identity theft protection services are offered as part of this breach notification, enroll before any stated deadline.
