Crypto ads fill Supreme Court’s YouTube channel after hack
The official YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India, which was used to stream the court hearing, was reportedly hacked on Friday by hackers who ran crypto ads.
The channel was uploaded with videos about a cryptocurrency product. The entire page has since been deleted.
The Supreme Court has used the video streaming platform to broadcast cases of constitutional and public importance live to a wider audience. Recorded videos of the hearings were stored in the channel.
The archived videos have been made private and are no longer publicly accessible. The homepage displays a blank video with a title that mentions the cryptocurrency.
“The services of the YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India will be resumed shortly,” the court’s registrar, Hargurvarinder Jaggi, said in a statement.
