InfoSecBulletin Cybersecurity for mankind
Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered an unsecured database with 170,360 records belonging to a real estate company. It contained personal information, social security numbers, and other sensitive data. The publicly exposed database was not password-protected or encrypted. It contained 170,360 records with a total size of 116.24GB.
The dataset features motel employees’ PII, like names, addresses, emails, DOB, and SSNs in plain text. It also includes inspection reports, eviction notices, termination letters, petty cash statements, and receipts with payment card information.

It includes police reports with arrest details of guests and hotel staff. Documentation of accidents and falls, with images or videos of those involved. Proof of illness documents showing positive COVID-19 tests and other medical issues. Photos of damage to rooms, common areas, and parking lots.
The internal files suggest that the records are related to a California company named Income Property Investments Inc., which focuses on real estate investment and management across the U.S.
Jeremiah Fowler said the dataset was restricted while sending a responsible disclosure. It is also not known how long the database was exposed before I discovered it or if anyone else may have gained access to it. Only an internal forensic audit could identify additional access or potentially suspicious activity.
Income Property Investments has a diverse portfolio across multiple states, including hotels, apartment complexes (both affordable and conventional), commercial buildings, townhomes, and single-family homes. Most documents I found in the public database were related to hotels, while only a few were about residential housing.
