Microsoft Teams suffered a lengthy and embarrassing outage yesterday, with the problem caused because Microsoft forgot to renew a security certificate (yes, you read that correctly).<\/p>\n

As The Verge<\/a> reports, Teams was down for a period of around three hours on the morning of February 3.<\/p>\n

The downtime began at around 9am, and just after 11am, a fix was rolled out – with the problem resolved for most people by midday.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Teams is now available for Linux<\/a><\/li>\n
Microsoft is using Office 365 to push Teams as a Slack killer<\/a><\/li>\n
These are the best productivity apps<\/a> of 2020<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Microsoft subsequently revealed that the issue was caused by an authentication certificate expiring, which is a pretty staggering oversight for a software company of Microsoft’s size and clout.<\/p>\n
Particularly seeing as the company makes software which is capable of monitoring for issues such as an imminent certificate expiration. Microsoft might sell this software, but seemingly doesn’t use it…<\/p>\n
Microsoft further noted: “Next steps: We’re reviewing our authentication certificate deployment and provisioning procedures to help prevent similar problems in the future.”<\/p>\n
Out of the blue<\/h3>\n
Sadly, this isn’t the first time Microsoft has suffered – or rather users have suffered – at the hands of an expired certificate. As one commenter observed, Microsoft’s Azure cloud empire was hit by a serious outage because of an expired SSL certificate, albeit this was seven years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Microsoft Teams, as you’re likely aware, is the firm’s Slack rival which was launched back in March 2017<\/a>. In just over two-and-a-half years, it hit 20 million daily active users<\/a>. So doubtless there were a lot of annoyed people yesterday morning…<\/p>\n
