The Supreme Court of India’s YouTube channel looks to have been hacked, since videos of the US startup Ripple are being displayed.
The social media platform, which is vital to the court, is typically utilised for public interest live streaming of important cases before the Constitution Benches and other cases.
When viewers looked for the hearing records, they discovered that all of the earlier ones had been made private and had been replaced with a live video called “Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC’s $2 Billion Fine!” XRP Price Forecast.
“over the past several months, scammers have created official-sounding accounts for Ripple and its CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Some of the accounts were apparently stolen from successful YouTubers who had their accounts hacked, giving the scammers hundreds of thousands of subscribers. From there, they could post videos offering big XRP rewards in exchange for smaller initial payments, bilking viewers who thought they were watching Ripple’s channel.”
