YouTuber BeerBiceps, also known as Ranveer Allahbadia, recently faced a shocking cyber attack that left his YouTube channels completely compromised. The hackers not only deleted all his podcasts and interviews but also replaced them with older streams from events featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
After the attack, Ranveer’s primary YouTube channel was renamed to "@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024," while his personal channel was changed to "@Tesla.event.trump_2024." Both channels were subsequently taken down by YouTube, leaving a message that read, “This page isn’t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.”
Ranveer, who was initially in Singapore, took to his Instagram stories to address the issue. Posting a photo of his meal, he wrote, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favourite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet.” Later, he shared a selfie with an eye mask and pondered, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all.”
Meanwhile, as he took the next steps to deal with the situation, Allahbadia took to Instagram and shared an update. He wrote, "No Jokes, no PR. Working on the next steps. Just feeling calm right now. Life always shows you the next doorway."

Ranveer Allahbadia began his YouTube journey at the young age of 22, launching his first channel, BeerBiceps. Over the years, he has built a substantial following, managing seven different YouTube channels with a combined subscriber count of around 12 million. Known for his candid interviews and motivational content, he has spoken with numerous high-profile personalities, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ajay Devgn, Yuvraj Singh and Akshay Kumar.
While it remains uncertain whether Ranveer will be able to restore his channels, fans are hopeful that this is just a temporary setback for the popular creator. Ranveer has yet to confirm his next steps, but his Instagram posts suggest he’s taking the incident in stride, keeping a sense of humour and resilience.
