New Delhi, September 20

The Supreme Court of India’s YouTube channel appears to have been hacked, currently displaying videos promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency created by US-based Ripple Labs. The top court has been utilizing YouTube to stream hearings, including those before Constitution Benches and cases of public interest, the Delhi-based news outlet Bar and Bench reported.

Recently, the hearings of the suo motu case concerning the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder were streamed live on YouTube. The hackers have reportedly made previous hearing videos private. A blank video titled “Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC’s $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION” is live on the hacked channel, the news outlet further said.
