Apple: Test website certificates expired

RESOLVED FIXED Apple Inc.
AI Summary

Apple CA's test website certificates expired due to an oversight in expiration notifications. The operations team was inadvertently removed from the notification email group, leading to a lack of alerts about the expiration. The issue was identified on September 9, 2021, and was resolved the same day by issuing new certificates. A monitoring solution has since been implemented to proactively check certificate statuses and alert the team 30 days prior to expiration.
