The hotel check-in system, called Tabiq, is maintained by the Japan-based tech startup Reqrea. According to its website, Tabiq is used in several hotels across Japan and relies on facial recognition and document scanning to check guests in.

They left an S3 bucket open.

this is why other s3 compatible servers like garage intentionally ignore admin commands to leave a bucket open, it's simply not possible as there's no valid reason except developer laziness
