Supreme Court’s YouTube channel hacked, promotes cryptocurrency scam

The Supreme Court of India’s official YouTube channel appears to have been hacked, with users reporting that the channel is currently displaying videos promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency developed by Ripple Labs. As of Friday morning, attempts to access the channel have been met with ads and videos unrelated to the court’s official content.

A senior Supreme Court official mentioned that the breach was detected early Friday morning, and the matter has been escalated to the National Informatics Centre (NIC) for resolution.
