Popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, better known as BeerBiceps, has been the target of a cyberattack, resulting in both his YouTube channels being taken over by hackers. The attackers rebranded the channels with names referencing Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Tesla, renaming them "@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024" and "@Tesla.event.trump_2024." 


After deleting all of Allahbadia’s original content, the hackers uploaded old live streams featuring Musk and Trump. This incident occurred just weeks after a similar hack targeted the YouTube channel of the Supreme Court. 


YouTube's response 


Following the attack, YouTube took swift action, removing the compromised channels from its platform. When users search for the channels, they get a message stating, "This page isn't available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else." The platform clarified that the channels had been removed due to violations of its policies.

Allahbadia, who was in Singapore at the time of the cyberattack, addressed the situation nearly a day after the hack occurred. Taking a lighthearted approach, he shared his thoughts via Instagram stories, posting a picture of his meal and jokingly referring to the incident. 


"Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favourite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet," he quipped. 



In another story, he humorously asked, "Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all," while wearing a cartoon cat eye mask.
