Thu Sep 26 10:53:46 UTC 2024: ## YouTuber BeerBiceps Falls Victim to Cyberattack, Channels Hacked and Content Deleted

**Mumbai, India:** Prominent YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, known for his channel BeerBiceps, has become the latest victim of a cyberattack. Hackers took control of his YouTube channels, renaming them with references to Tesla and Trump before deleting the majority of his content.

The attackers changed the name of BeerBiceps to “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and his personal channel to “@Tesla.event.trump_2024.” They then deleted all podcasts and interviews, replacing them with older streams featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump. YouTube has since taken down the hacked channels, displaying an error message.

Allahbadia, currently in Mumbai, has not issued an official statement regarding the hacking. However, he indirectly addressed the issue on Instagram, posting a picture of a meal with the caption, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favourite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet.” He later shared a selfie with an eye mask, captioned, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all.”

This incident mirrors the recent hacking of India’s Supreme Court YouTube channel and highlights growing cybersecurity concerns for content creators and public figures on digital platforms.

BeerBiceps, launched by Allahbadia at the age of 22, has amassed over 12 million subscribers across seven YouTube channels. His content, featuring motivational talks, lifestyle advice, fitness tips, and interviews with high-profile personalities, has garnered a loyal following.

While the recovery of his channels remains uncertain, the attack serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability of online platforms and the need for increased security measures to protect content creators.
