Spotify declined to comment on why Megaphone’s SSL certificate was allowed to expire and why it took so long to resolve. According to reports, the certificate expired on Monday at 8 p.m. ET. According to the platform’s status page, the problem was not resolved for another eight hours. Even after Megaphone was restored soon before 6 a.m. ET, podcasters encountered problems with the Megaphone CMS. The business stated that the problem had been rectified as of 9:45 a.m.
