The official YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India has reportedly been hacked, with videos now promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency created by Ripple Labs.&nbsp;As per the latest update, the unknown hacker had removed all previous videos and live proceedings of the Supreme Court posted on the channel. 
This channel is crucial for live streaming important court hearings, including recent cases of public interest, like the ongoing investigation into a serious crime at <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/rg-kar-rape-murder-junior-doctors-call-off-strike-9577643/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">RG Kar Medical College and Hospital</a>.

Recently, the Supreme Court used its YouTube platform to share sensitive hearings, including the high-profile suo motu case involving a tragic rape and murder. However, viewers looking for past videos were shocked to find that hackers had set all previous content to private.&nbsp; 
Instead of legal proceedings, a live stream titled “Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC’s $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION” was showcased, diverting attention from the court’s work. 
Currently, YouTube has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@supremecourtofindia5950" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">suspended</a> the Supreme Court of India’s channel, with plans to restore it soon. This incident highlights a growing problem where scammers target popular channels, leading Ripple Labs to sue YouTube for not protecting its brand. 
According to reports, these scammers take control of well-known YouTube channels and use them to push fraudulent schemes, promising easy XRP rewards in exchange for initial payments. 
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 situation highlights the ongoing battle against online fraud and the need for better protections for high-profile channels on platforms like YouTube.
