Gulshan Management Services sued over data breach affecting 377K consumers

Gulshan class action lawsuit overview:

• Who: Plaintiff Ana Ceja has filed a class action lawsuit against Gulshan Management Services Inc.
• Why: Ceja claims Gulshan Management Services failed to adequately protect consumers’ personally identifiable information in a September 2025 data breach.
• Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Texas federal court.

A new class action lawsuit alleges Gulshan Management Services failed to safeguard the personal information of more than 377,000 consumers during a September 2025 data breach.

Plaintiff Ana Ceja argues Gulshan Management Services failed to “implement adequate and reasonable measures” to protect the personally identifiable information (PII) of consumers, which she claims the company stored on an “inadequately protected computer network.”

Gulshan is a Texas-based business services company that manages information technology, point-of-sale systems and other services for convenience store chains across the United States.

Ceja claims Gulshan was aware of suspicious activity on its network on Sept. 27, 2025, and determined that cybercriminals had infiltrated the network and accessed files containing the personal information of 377,082 consumers 10 days earlier.

 “The personally identifiable information (‘PII’) accessed by cybercriminals included, but is not limited to, names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and contact information,” the Gulshan class action says.

Although the breach occurred in September 2025, the company only started notifying affected individuals around Jan. 5, 2026, which the lawsuit alleges may have violated state and federal laws.

Ceja wants to represent a nationwide class of all consumers in the U.S. whose personal information was compromised as a result of the Gulshan data breach.

Gulshan failed to detect and inform on data breach in a timely manner, class action alleges

Ceja argues Gulshan Management Services failed to detect the Gulshan data breach in a timely manner and “failed to provide timely and adequate notice” of the breach, which she claims left consumers at risk of identity theft and fraud.

“Due to Defendant’s negligence and failures, cyber criminals obtained and now possess everything they need to commit personal identity theft and wreak havoc on the financial and personal lives of thousands of individuals, for decades to come,” the Gulshan class action says.

Ceja claims Gulshan Management Services is guilty of negligence, breach of third-party beneficiary contract and unjust enrichment, and that she and other class members are entitled to declaratory judgment and injunctive relief.

The plaintiff demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of actual damages and restitution for herself and all class members.

In another data breach lawsuit, Cox Enterprises, the parent company of Cox Communications, is accused of negligence in failing to adequately protect its customers’ PII.
