Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as BeerBiceps, recently experienced a major cyber attack that resulted in his YouTube channels being hacked. Both of his main channels, famous for interviews and podcasts, were compromised by hackers who deleted all content and replaced it with deceptive livestreams featuring old footage from Elon Musk and Donald Trump events.
The hackers changed the names of BeerBiceps’ channel to “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and his personal channel to “@Tesla.event.trump_2024.” Instead of Allahbadia’s original content, viewers were greeted with a livestream promoting a cryptocurrency scam. An AI-generated Elon Musk avatar urged viewers to invest in cryptocurrency, falsely promising to double returns. Viewers were directed to scan a QR code and deposit Bitcoin or Ethereum on a suspicious website, elonweb.net.
Both channels now show a message stating, “This page isn’t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.”
Although Allahbadia has yet to release an official statement, he shared his reaction to the cyber attack on Instagram. In one story, he humorously posted a picture of a meal, captioned: “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favorite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet.” In another story, he posted a selfie with an eye mask, jokingly asking, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all.”
Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, started his YouTube journey at 22, initially focusing on fitness and cooking content. Over time, his channel grew, and he expanded into men’s fashion, personal development, grooming, and mental health. With seven channels and over 12 million subscribers, Allahbadia has become one of the leading voices in India’s digital space.
In 2018, he co-founded Monk Entertainment, a talent management and content creation agency, which has partnered with brands like Netflix, Google, and Pepsico. His widely popular podcast, “The Ranveer Show,” launched in 2019, features interviews with global personalities and has been a platform for discussions on money, fame, spirituality, and finance. In 2021, Allahbadia became India’s first independent creator to partner with Spotify, where his podcast became one of the top shows on the platform.
As fans await an official statement from Ranveer Allahbadia regarding the cyber attack, the question remains whether the YouTuber will regain access to his channels. Despite this setback, his humor and resilience suggest that the beloved creator may bounce back stronger than ever.
