The official YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India, which was used for streaming proceedings, was reportedly hacked on Friday and displayed cryptocurrency advertisements.
Videos related to a cryptocurrency product were uploaded to the channel, but the entire page has since been removed.
The Supreme Court had been using the platform to live broadcast cases of constitutional and public significance to reach a broader audience. The channel also contained recorded videos of court proceedings.
The archived videos have been set to private and are no longer accessible to the public, while the homepage now features a blank video titled with a reference to the cryptocurrency.
“The services on the Supreme Court of India’s YouTube channel will be resumed shortly,” stated the court’s registrar, Hargurvarinder Jaggi.
