Microsoft made a historic forgetfulness in the Microsoft Teams application it developed to facilitate teamwork . The team that developed Teams forgot to update their SSL certificates, causing the platform to crash for a while .
The Microsoft Teams application for the business world of the United States based technology giant Microsoft has recently collapsed . The crash of a platform with Microsoft servers behind it surprised many people in the first place. The announcement made today revealed the truth behind the news of Microsoft Teams crash.
Microsoft noted that the developers of Teams did not update with a little forgetfulness for the authentication certificate (SSL), causing a crash. Advocating that this is a minor mistake rather than a crash, Microsoft assured that this will not happen again.
"We have determined that an authentication certificate has expired, which causes users to have problems using the service," Microsoft explains. We are developing a fix to apply a new certificate that will take effect on the service. ”
When users could not be authenticated, Microsoft Teams detected these attempts as suspicious login and blocked users from logging on. It was stated that the number of users who could not access the servers was close to 20 million.
Microsoft 's Microsoft Teams application, which Microsoft released as a competitor to Slack , became available in 2016. The platform, which has reached more than 20 million users since then, was actively used. Thus, a little forgetfulness affected the progress of millions of people.
