The vpnMentor cybersecurity research team, led by Noam Rotem and Ran Locar, have uncovered an unsecured AWS S3 bucket with over 5.5 million files and more than 343GB in size that remains unclaimed.

In this case, after a few days of research, the research team identified the possibility that the data belongs to InMotionNow, and subsequently contacted the company with their findings. Although the unsecured S3 bucket is now closed, no one from the company ever responded to their attempts to reach out, so they are unable to confirm the ownership.

InMotionNow is a project management software company started in 1999 and headquartered near Raleigh, North Carolina. They boast FDA-compliant security standards, aimed at the verticals of their target customers.

Included here is a non-exhaustive list of the companies whose marketing material was found in the unsecured S3 bucket:

• Cybersecurity firm ISC2.org had multiple data included in this breach as well.
• Insurance company Brotherhood Mutual, which serves primarily religious institutions across the United States.
• Universities, such as Kent State in Ohio and Purdue in Indiana, also had a plethora of files and information contained within the S3 bucket.

• Consumer electronics company, Zagg (ZAGG), which designs and produces mobile accessories.
