According to BlockBeats, on September 21, the YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India was hacked to promote a scam involving the XRP cryptocurrency instead of the usual live hearing.
The intrusion caused the channel to be temporarily shut down, but service was restored later that day.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse responded to this by saying: “Ripple and executives will never ask you to send us XRP. It is regrettable to see scammers preying on and exploiting innocent cryptocurrency users, and social media platforms allowing such scams to emerge. Please take care to protect yourself.”
