Udupi: Medha N. Bhat, a student of T.A. Pai English Medium High School, Udupi, is among the eight students, who secured the second place in the State in the SSLC examinations with 624 of 625 marks.

Medha is the daughter of Narsimha Bhat, CEO of a private firm in Manipal, and Shashikala Bhat, a homemaker. She was delighted with her performance. While she expected a high score, she had not expected 624. She used to study for three to four hours daily and about six to eight hours on weekends. She did not take any coaching.

She has joined the Science stream with PCMS at MGM Pre-University College here. “One of my dreams is to do Ph.D. in English literature. I am good at Mathematics and Science. But English is my favourite subject. I will decide after two years whether I should continue with Science or take to English literature,” she said.

New Delhi: The YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India appears to have been hacked, with videos promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency developed by US-based Ripple Labs, currently being displayed. The channel, which streams live hearings of Constitution Bench cases and matters of public interest, recently broadcasted the proceedings of the suo motu case concerning the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder.

Hackers have reportedly made earlier videos private, and a live stream titled "Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC's $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION" is now visible on the channel. Scams involving the hacking of popular video channels are not uncommon, and Ripple had previously sued YouTube for failing to prevent scammers from impersonating its CEO, Brad Garlinghouse.

According to a report by The Verge, scammers have been creating fake accounts for Ripple and Garlinghouse, often by hacking successful YouTube channels. These hacked channels, with their large subscriber bases, are then used to promote fraudulent XRP schemes, misleading viewers into making payments in exchange for promises of rewards.

Supreme Court officials have confirmed that the channel's hacking is under investigation.
