Supreme Court's YouTube channel has been hacked

Apart from several videos on cryptocurrency, they are also live with a blank video titled "Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC's $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION".

The apex court uses the channel primarily to live stream hearings of cases involving public interest, following a pathbreaking verdict in 2018 in the matter.

Official sources told Bar & Bench that Supreme Court authorities were looking into resolving the matter soon.
