Cyber Attack on BeerBiceps: Hackers Wipe Ranveer Allahbadia’s YouTube Channels, Upload Old Trump and Musk Videos

Prominent YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known by his channel name BeerBiceps, has become the latest victim of a cyber attack. The hackers managed to gain control of both his YouTube channels, renamed them, deleted his videos, and uploaded old live streams of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. This incident comes weeks after the Supreme Court’s YouTube channel faced a similar hacking attack.

The Cyber Attack on Ranveer Allahbadia
Ranveer Allahbadia’s YouTube channels, BeerBiceps and The Ranveer Show, were hacked and renamed to “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024″ and “@Tesla.event.trump_2024.” Before deleting his original content, including podcasts and interviews with high-profile personalities, the attackers uploaded old live streams of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

The attackers left no trace of Allahbadia’s previous work, wiping his channels clean. This incident bears a striking resemblance to the Supreme Court of India’s YouTube channel hack, where a similar renaming and content deletion tactic was used.

What Ranveer Allahbadia Said
Allahbadia, who was in Singapore at the time of the attack, addressed the situation on his Instagram stories almost a day later. Taking a humorous approach to the hacking, he posted a photo of his meal and captioned it with, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favorite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet.”

In another Instagram post, he shared a selfie wearing a cartoon cat eye mask, jokingly asking his followers, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all.” His lighthearted response to the situation resonated with his followers, many of whom expressed confidence that the channels would be restored soon.

YouTube’s Response to the Hacking
Following the cyber attack, both of Ranveer’s channels became unsearchable on YouTube. A message displayed on YouTube for those searching for his content read, “This page isn’t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.”

YouTube later confirmed that the channels were taken down due to a violation of their company policies, possibly in response to the hackers’ activity. However, Allahbadia’s fans remain optimistic that YouTube will work swiftly to recover the channels and restore his original content.
