  • A video titled “Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC’s $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION” was uploaded and went live in the European morning hours.
  • Following the breach, both the video and the channel were promptly taken down by YouTube.
The YouTube channel of India’s Supreme Court was compromised on Friday in a first such incident for the judicial body.

The channel, which otherwise streams court cases for viewers and the press, showed videos promoting XRP tokens. Its name was changed to “Ripple.live24.”

A blank video titled “Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC’s $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION” went live on the channel in the European morning hours. The video and the channel were taken down shortly afterward.

“This is to inform all concerned that the YouTube channel of Supreme Court of India has been taken down. The services on YouTube channel of Supreme Court of India will be resumed shortly,” the Supreme Court said in a statement shared with local media companies.

The compromise came ahead of several crucial cases scheduled for Friday, the Times of India reported.
