I wonder how old the S3 bucket was, because at some point AWS made new S3 buckets private by default. Which means it's either old, or they recklessly opened it up because they couldn't get files uploaded/downloaded to the bucket from their mobile app/services.

Also possible a webdev opened it up so they could use the assets on a website, and didn't think about other private data in the bucket.
