In a shocking cyberattack, popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, had his YouTube channels hacked and renamed by cyber attackers on Wednesday night. The incident comes just days after the Supreme Court of India's YouTube channel faced a similar breach.
The hackers targeted two of Allahbadia’s major channels, renaming his flagship "BeerBiceps" channel to "@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024" and his personal channel to "@Tesla.event.trump_2024."
In addition to renaming the channels, the cyber attackers deleted all of his original content, including interviews and podcasts, and replaced them with older streams from Elon Musk and Donald Trump's events.
Allahbadia's channels remain inaccessible, as YouTube has since deleted both pages. Viewers trying to access the channels are now met with the message, "This page isn’t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else."

Ranveer Allahbadia began his content creation journey at the age of 22 with his first channel, BeerBiceps, and has since built a digital empire of around seven YouTube channels, gaining nearly 12 million subscribers. Known for his motivational content and high-profile interviews, his channels have been a go-to platform for discussions on self-development, fitness, and entrepreneurship.
However, despite the cyberattack, Allahbadia appeared to take the situation with a smile on his face. Posting a light-hearted Instagram story from his @beerbiceps account, he shared an image of his food with the caption, "Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favourite food. vegan burgers. Death of Beer Biceps met with Death of diet."
In a follow-up selfie, he humorously stated, "Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all."
Over the years, Allahbadia has gained widespread recognition for his interviews with prominent personalities, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ajay Devgn, Yuvraj Singh, Kareena Kapoor, and Akshay Kumar. His sudden disappearance from YouTube has left fans concerned, though many expect a swift recovery of his digital presence.
As cyberattacks on high-profile accounts grow more frequent, this incident raises further concerns about digital security, especially in the content creation space.
Whether Allahbadia can restore his channels or will start afresh remains to be seen, but his vast follower base continues to support him through this difficult phase.
