Supreme Court of India YouTube Channel Hacked to Promote XRP

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience in digital forensics and cybersecurity, I find the recent hacking of the Supreme Court of India’s YouTube channel deeply concerning. Having witnessed the evolution of the digital landscape and its vulnerabilities firsthand, it’s alarming to see such a high-profile platform fall prey to scammers peddling fraudulent schemes.


This channel plays a vital role in broadcasting significant real-time court proceedings, such as current high-profile cases that garner public attention, like the ongoing probe concerning the alleged severe crime at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Supreme Court of India YouTube Channel Hacked to Promote XRP

Lately, the Supreme Court made public some of their significant court proceedings, such as the high-profile suo motu case about a distressing rape and homicide, on their YouTube channel. Surprisingly, people trying to access past videos discovered that someone had changed the privacy settings, making all previous content unavailable.

Rather than focusing on legal court actions, an online broadcast entitled “Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Answers to the SEC’s $2 Billion Penalty! XRP PRICE FORECAST” was presented instead, shifting the spotlight away from the court process.

At present, YouTube has temporarily taken down the channel belonging to the Supreme Court of India, and they plan to reinstate it shortly. This event underscores an increasing issue as fraudsters often aim at prominent channels, prompting Ripple Labs to file a lawsuit against YouTube for allegedly failing to safeguard their brand.

Based on the news, these swindlers seize popular YouTube accounts and trick people into believing they can get effortless XRP payouts by making an initial payment first.

The hacking of the Supreme Court’s YouTube channel raises serious security concerns for popular channels. Viewers must stay alert and report any suspicious activity, as the court needs this channel for transparency in legal proceedings.

This scenario underscores the continuous fight against internet fraud and the importance of enhancing security measures, particularly for prominent content on platforms such as YouTube.
