The Supreme Court’s official YouTube channel was purportedly hacked on Friday morning. The channel began streaming videos promoting cryptocurrency XRP developed by a US-based company called Ripple Labs, according to media reports.

The channel, which used to live-stream the court proceedings of cases listed before constitution benches and matters involving public interest, has been disabled. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s Registry has taken cognizance of the breach and is taking measures to recover the channel.
