In 2015, it was big news to the Startup and VC scene, when Microsoft announced it would acquire Wunderlist. Back then, 6Wunderkinder was one of the most promising StartUps in the German Capital. The social media bubble immediately started debating the future of the product and whether Microsoft would spoil it or even shut it down.
The recent past showed all fears held true when Microsoft announced the shutdown of Wunderlist in favour of a “To-Do” app, to the disappointment of it’s entire user base.

Now, a few days later and more facts known, the always excellent Krebs on Security blog offers some lessons learned from the incident. It has good statements from Netflix, CloudFlare, DisruptOS and AWS personnel, including citations about the involvement of IAM, EC2 and WAF.
