On December 24, 2024, the Clop ransomware group added Constellation Brands to its leak site, announcing that it had exfiltrated internal files from the beverage giant during a ransomware attack. The company, whose brands include Corona, Modelo, and Robert Mondavi, is the latest presumed victim in Clop’s campaign targeting organizations that use Cleo file-transfer software. While the exact number of people whose information may be exposed remains unknown, anyone whose personal or employment records were stored in the compromised systems could be affected.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that Clop claims to have stolen data from multiple companies using Cleo’s secure file transfer products. The group posted Constellation Brands on its dark-web leak site on Christmas Eve 2024 and stated it possesses “data of many companies who use cleo.” The announcement included an offer to open a “special secret chat” with the victim company. Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack that combined encryption of systems with data exfiltration. No confirmed total of affected individuals has been released, and Constellation Brands has not yet issued a public statement detailing the scope or types of files taken.
December 24, 2024 marks the listing date. The primary vector appears to be vulnerabilities in third-party file-transfer software rather than a direct breach of Constellation’s own perimeter. Data exposed consists of internal files whose exact contents have not been publicly detailed.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a large company like Constellation Brands suffers a breach, the information at risk often includes employee records, vendor contracts, customer details, and partner communications. If you or a family member work there, have done business with the company, or appear in any of its supplier or marketing databases, your personal data could be in the stolen material. Names, addresses, Social Security numbers, banking details, and internal correspondence are the kinds of records that routinely surface in these incidents. Once that information reaches criminal marketplaces, it can be used for identity theft, tax fraud, or targeted scams against you and your loved ones.
