Supreme Court Of India’s YouTube Channel Hacked

The YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India has reportedly been hacked, with the platform currently displaying videos related to the US-based company Ripple.

In addition to multiple videos on cryptocurrency, the hacked YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India features a live stream of a blank video titled "Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds to the SEC's $2 Billion Fine! XRP Price Prediction."

The channel is primarily used by the apex court to live stream hearings on public interest cases, a practice that began following a landmark ruling in 2018. Reports indicate that no important streaming was scheduled for today.

Official sources informed Bar & Bench that the Supreme Court administration is currently investigating the hacking of its YouTube channel. No official comments have been made on the matter.
