NEW DELHI: In an alarming cybersecurity breach, the official YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India appears to have been hacked. The channel, which typically features legal proceedings and updates from India’s highest judicial authority, is now reportedly displaying videos promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency created by Ripple Labs, a US-based blockchain company.
The breach was noticed when the channel began streaming content unrelated to the judiciary, instead focusing on cryptocurrency-related promotions. XRP, the digital asset being advertised, is associated with Ripple Labs, a prominent player in the global cryptocurrency space.
The nature of the hack and how long the channel has been compromised remain unclear. However, this incident raises concerns about the vulnerability of even the most secure and significant institutions to cyberattacks. Immediate action from the concerned authorities is expected to restore the channel and mitigate any potential damage.
This hacking incident also underscores the growing threat of cyberattacks, especially those aimed at exploiting platforms with high visibility for promoting cryptocurrency schemes, which are often used in fraudulent activities.
As the situation develops, authorities will likely investigate how the breach occurred and implement stronger security measures to prevent future incidents. Meanwhile, the public is urged to avoid engaging with any suspicious content related to cryptocurrencies on the compromised platform.
