The Supreme Court's YouTube channel was hacked, displaying videos promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency from Ripple Labs.

Previous court proceedings were made private, disrupting access to important public legal information.

The incident highlights the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures for critical national institutions.

On September 20, 2024, the official YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India experienced a significant security breach when it was hacked, leading to the channel being renamed to 'Ripple'. The hackers replaced the content with videos promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency associated with Ripple Labs, a US-based company. This incident has raised serious concerns about the security of official digital platforms.

The breach resulted in all previous videos of court proceedings being either made private or removed, including those from cases of substantial public interest and constitutional significance. The disruption of access to essential legal information has sparked considerable alarm among legal professionals and the public alike.

Senior officials have acknowledged the incident, and the matter has been escalated to the National Informatics Centre for resolution. Discussions are now centered on the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures to safeguard critical national institutions from such attacks in the future.

This incident underscores the vulnerabilities present in the digital infrastructure of government platforms and highlights the imperative to implement stronger protective measures against potential cyber threats.
