A prominent YouTuber, Ranveer Allahbadia, reacted after his YouTube channel, BeerBiceps, got hacked on  Wednesday night. He has become the latest victim of the cyber attack.

Hackers took control of his YouTube channels, renaming them with references to “Tesla” and “Trump” before erasing most of his content. This incident resembles the recent hacking of India’s Supreme Court YouTube channel.

The attackers modified the name of BeerBiceps to “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and his personal channel to “@Tesla.event.trump_2024.” After the takeover, they removed all of his podcasts and interviews, replacing them with older event streams featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

YouTube has since taken down the hacked channels, displaying the message, “This page isn’t available.”

Allahbadia, initially in Singapore but later confirmed to be in Mumbai, has not released an official statement regarding the hacking. However, he indirectly addressed the issue on Instagram. He posted a picture of a meal, writing, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favorite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet.”

In a subsequent post, he shared a selfie with an eye mask, captioned, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all.”

Ranveer Allahbadia began his content creation journey at 22 with the launch of BeerBiceps. Over the years, he expanded his digital presence, managing seven YouTube channels with around 12 million subscribers collectively. His content has built a loyal audience through motivational talks, lifestyle advice, fitness tips, and interviews with high-profile personalities.

Throughout his career, Allahbadia has interviewed notable figures across various industries, including sports icons, Bollywood stars, influential personalities, and international figures.

While there has been no official word from Allahbadia regarding the recovery of his channels, the incident shines a light on the growing concerns about cybersecurity risks faced by content creators and public figures on digital platforms.
