Supreme Court of India's YouTube Channel Hacked to Promote Cryptocurrency
The channel was disabled after streaming unauthorized videos about Ripple Labs' XRP, but services are expected to resume soon.
- Hackers targeted the Supreme Court's YouTube channel on Friday, displaying videos about the cryptocurrency XRP.
- A live video titled 'Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC's $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION' was prominently featured.
- The channel, which streams live hearings of public interest cases, was taken down to address the security breach.
- The Supreme Court's IT team is collaborating with the National Informatics Centre (NIC) to resolve the issue.
- The channel has since been restored, with the unauthorized cryptocurrency content removed.
