Unverified claim. This entry reproduces a listing published by the thegentlemen group on its own extortion site. Attackers routinely exaggerate or fabricate victims. Nothing here confirms that Tapon Corona suffered a breach, or what data was actually taken.

About the organisation

taponcorona.com.mx Tapon Corona S.A. de C.V. is a Mexican manufacturer based in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, specializing in world-class crown caps (metal bottle caps) for beer and soft drink brands. The company is part of Grupo Zapata and operates alongside subsidiaries producing aluminum cans (Jalisco) and PET packaging (CDMX).

What the listing means

Tapon Corona appeared on the thegentlemen leak site on 08 April 2026. Groups publish a victim once negotiations stall or as pressure during them, so a listing usually means data was already exfiltrated. This group has published 134 claims in the last 30 days and remains active.

Recommended actions

  • Treat any unsolicited message referencing Tapon Corona as suspicious — leaked data gets weaponised for phishing within days.
  • If you hold an account on taponcorona.com.mx, change that password now, update it anywhere you reused it, and enable two-factor authentication.
  • Other Manufacturing organisations should review this group's known TTPs and validate detection coverage against them.
  • Watch for follow-on extortion: stolen data is often re-leaked or resold after the initial listing.
  • A leak-site listing is a claim made by the attacker, not a confirmed breach — check the organisation's own disclosures before acting on it.
