New Delhi: The courage of hackers in the country has increased a lot. According to Bar and Bench, today hackers hacked the YouTube channel of the Supreme Court. For some time, an ad video of cryptocurrency XRP started playing on the channel. The hackers played a black video on the channel titled ‘Brad Garling House: Ripple Responds to the SEC $2 Billion Fine! XRP Price Prediction’.
Hackers made all the videos private
The Supreme Court YouTube channel broadcasts live hearings of cases being heard in constitutional benches and cases of public interest. Recently, the hearing on the suo motu petition in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder case was live-streamed on YouTube. Hackers had made the videos of the earlier hearing private and ran an ad for the cryptocurrency XRP.
‘This page is not available’
However, now nothing is visible when you open the Supreme Court channel on YouTube. If you go to YouTube now and write Supreme Court, the channel is visible, but on clicking on it, this page is not available. Sorry for this. Try searching something else, it is written. Let us tell you that the Supreme Court’s YouTube channel has more than two lakh subscribers.
They deceive you about huge profits
Scammers are duping people by creating fake accounts in the name of Ripple and its CEO Brad Garlinghouse. These scammers use hacked YouTube accounts, many of which belong to famous YouTubers who have millions of subscribers. Scammers post videos from these accounts and extort money from people by promising huge profits in XRP. People get deceived by thinking these are Ripple’s real accounts.
Supreme Court is investigating the hacking
According to The Verge report, this scam has been going on for the last few months. Scammers lure people with huge returns in XRP on a small initial investment. Many people fall into their trap thinking it to be Ripple’s channel and lose their money. Official sources told Bar and Bench that the Supreme Court administration is currently investigating the hacking of the YouTube channel.
