Supreme Court’s YouTube Channel Hacked, Streams Videos Promoting Cryptocurrency
The official YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India has been hacked, featuring videos
NEW DELHI: The official YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India was hacked on Friday. The channel, which is typically used to live stream hearings of Constitution Bench cases and matters of public interest, is now showing videos promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency developed by the US-based company Ripple Labs.
Following the hacking of Supreme Court's YouTube channel, the channel has been taken down. “This is to inform all concerned that the YouTube channel of Supreme Court of India has been taken down. The services on YouTube channel of Supreme Court of India will be resumed shortly,” Supreme Court said in a statement.
The incident came to light when a blank video titled "Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC's $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION" went live on the channel. Brad Garlinghouse is the CEO of Ripple Labs, a company that has been in legal disputes with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The hackers also seem to have made earlier videos of Supreme Court hearings private.
