YouTube Hack Targets India Supreme Court Channel with Ripple Cryptocurrency Scam
On September 20, the official YouTube channel of the Indian Supreme Court, boasting over 217,000 subscribers, was hijacked and renamed to a Ripple-themed account as part of a cryptocurrency scam. Hackers exploited the channel to broadcast a fake live video featuring Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse. The channel also encouraged potential victims to invest in the scam, promising unrealistic returns.
Further, hackers renamed the channel, changed its URL, and deleted all previously uploaded videos by the account's original owner. YouTube subsequently removed the compromised channel, citing "violation of our Community Guidelines."
