The Supreme Court of India's YouTube channel was hacked to promote the Ripple scam.

While hacking incidents in the cryptocurrency sector are increasing day by day, the latest news came from India.

According to Cointelegraph, the YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India was hacked in an attempt to promote a Ripple scam.

Accordingly, the latest target of cryptocurrency hackers was the Supreme Court of India.

Hackers have hijacked the official YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India, which has over 217,000 subscribers, and used it to promote a Ripple (XRP)-related scam.

The hackers used the channel in question to broadcast a fake livestream video featuring Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, encouraging viewers to invest with promises of unrealistic returns.

The hackers also deleted all previous videos, changed the channel's details, and added phishing links that could compromise users' cryptocurrency wallets.

The channel was completely removed by YouTube after the hack was noticed.

Ripple has previously warned the XRP community about possible hacks, reminding them to be wary of phishing links and deepfakes.
