A live stream titled ‘Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC’s $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION‘ is currently running on the compromised channel.
The apex court has been using YouTube to live-stream hearings for cases before constitution benches and matters of public interest such as the rape-murder of the trainee doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical Hospital and College.
In a unanimous decision made during a recent full court meeting led by former Chief Justice UU Lalit, the court resolved to live-stream all constitution bench hearings, following a landmark ruling on the issue in 2018.
Cryptocurrency firm sues YouTube over scamming
Cryptocurrency firm Ripple is suing YouTube for its “inexplicable failure” to prevent scammers from impersonating its CEO, reported. In a complaint filed, Ripple alleged that the platform not only sells ads but also verifies accounts that promote fraudulent cryptocurrency giveaways, while neglecting to address complaints about these scams.
Ripple operates an exchange network for the digital currency XRP, designed for those looking to send money internationally. In recent months, scammers have set up official-looking accounts for Ripple and its CEO, Brad Garlinghouse.
Some of these accounts appear to have been stolen from successful YouTubers whose channels were hacked, granting scammers access to hundreds of thousands of subscribers. This allowed them to post videos promising substantial XRP rewards in exchange for smaller initial payments, deceiving viewers who believed they were watching legitimate content from Ripple.
