BACKGROUND:
The World Wide Web Consortium’s main website was offline for several hours, as per the screenshots attached. While website outages happen quite often, this one was due to an expired certificate – the same thing that took down Microsoft Teams earlier this year. It demonstrates that if even the most internet-savvy of organisations can mismanage the basics of running a website, the same can happen to anyone.
