Bad Certificate Knocks Teams Offline

Microsoft allowed a certificate to expire, knocking the Office 365 version of Teams offline for almost an entire day.

Microsoft Teams on Office 365, a service that passed the 20 million user mark late last year, was knocked down this morning by a certificate issue. Specifically, an authentication certificate was allowed to expire, keeping millions from logging in to the service.
