Indian Supreme Court’s YouTube channel hacked
New Delhi: In a potential security breach, the Indian Supreme Court’s official YouTube channel was hacked, today.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the channel showed videos promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency developed by US-based company Ripple Labs, instead of live court proceedings.
The YouTube channel showed a blank video with the title “Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC’s $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION”.
The Indian SC administration has started an enquiry into the hacking of the channel. The channel’s link has been disabled by the Supreme Court registry.
This is the first time that the Indian SC’s YouTube channel has been hacked after the top court decided to live-stream proceedings of all constitution bench hearings in 2018.
