Ranveer Allahbadia, better known as BeerBiceps, a famous YouTuber, was recently the target of a major cyberattack that compromised his YouTube accounts.
Cyber Attack on YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Channels Hacked and Renamed
His main channel was changed to “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and his personal channel was changed to “@Tesla.event.trump_2024.”
Most of his content was replaced with old streams of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Most of Allahbadia’s conversations and podcasts were deleted after the breach, which happened late at night. YouTube took down the hacked channels and put up a message saying that the pages were not visible.
Ranveer Allahbadia talked about it on Instagram. He said he was in Singapore at first but later revealed he was in Mumbai.
He humorously posted a picture of a meal, captioning it
“Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favourite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet.”
In another story, he shared a selfie with an eye mask, asking
“Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all”.
Even though they lost, Ranveer and his team are still hopeful that they can get the channels back.
Vijay Sheth, co-founder of Monk Entertainments, denied that the hack was a publicity stunt and said he was sure YouTube would be able to fix the channels.
22 years ago, Ranveer Allahbadia began making videos. He now has seven YouTube channels with more than 12 million followers, which is a big change from back then. Because of what happened, his following and fans can’t wait to hear when his channels will be back online.
