India Supreme Court's YouTube hacked to push XRP scam

India Supreme Court's YouTube hacked to push XRP scam

The official YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India was recently hacked, with the attackers using it to promote a cryptocurrency scam involving XRP (CRYPTO:XRP)

Normally used to stream live hearings of important cases, the channel was compromised and began displaying fraudulent content, encouraging viewers to send XRP in exchange for double the amount in return. 

The hack became evident when a video titled “Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds to the SEC’s $2 Billion Fine! XRP Price Prediction” appeared on the channel. 

The video falsely claimed that Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, was involved in the scam. 

In response, Garlinghouse took to social media platform X to address the situation, stating, “Ripple and execs will NEVER ask you to send us XRP. It’s pathetic to see scammers prey on exploit innocent crypto users, and the ease at which social media platforms allow it to happen. Stop, spot, avoid – protect yourself.” 

The Supreme Court quickly acknowledged the issue by posting a notice on its official website, informing the public that the channel had been temporarily taken down for resolution. 

"This is to inform all concerned that the YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India has been taken down," the notice read. 

Later that day, the Court confirmed the channel’s restoration, announcing that services had been fully resumed. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price was $0.5964.
