Thu Sep 26 13:53:43 UTC 2024: ## Popular YouTuber BeerBiceps Hacked, Channels Renamed After Trump and Musk

In a concerning incident, prominent YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, known for his channel “BeerBiceps,” has fallen victim to a cyber attack. Hackers gained control of both his YouTube channels, renaming them “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and “@Tesla.event.trump_2024” before deleting all content.

This incident comes weeks after the Supreme Court’s YouTube channel was hacked in a similar manner. Following the attack, attackers uploaded old videos of live streams featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

While both channels have disappeared from YouTube searches, the platform issued a message stating the channels were removed due to policy violations.

Allahbadia, who was in Singapore during the attack, acknowledged the incident almost a day later. Taking a humorous approach, he posted about celebrating the attack with vegan burgers. He also shared a selfie with a cartoon cat eye mask and asked, “Is this the end of my YouTube career?”

BeerBiceps has gained a loyal following for its fitness tips, diet advice, motivational talks, and popular interviews with high-profile personalities. The channel has hosted interviews with Yuvraj Singh, Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Smriti Irani, and many more.

Despite the loss, many fans expressed confidence that YouTube will reinstate the channel and recover the content. One user commented, “Have full faith in YouTube to help us retrieve the hacked channels. Most hands-on team I’ve worked with.”

This incident highlights the increasing vulnerability of online platforms to cyberattacks and the importance of robust security measures.
