Ranveer Allahbadia’s YouTube Channels Hacked: ‘Is This The End Of My Career?’

Creator Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as BeerBiceps, recently fell victim to a major cyberattack that compromised both of his highly popular YouTube channels—BeerBiceps and Ranveer Allahbadia, the latter home to his famous podcast, The Ranveer Show. These channels, which have millions of subscribers and serve as leading platforms for motivational and educational content in India, were completely wiped out by the attackers.

The hackers deleted all of Ranveer’s videos and rebranded his channels with cryptic names: BeerBiceps was renamed to @Elon.trump.tesla_live2024, while his personal channel became @Tesla.event.trump_2024.

The attackers replaced his entire video library, including his celebrated podcasts and interviews, with live streams from past events featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

As a result of the hack, YouTube disabled both channels, with the message “This page isn’t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else” now appearing when viewers attempt to access them.

Despite the setback, Ranveer took to Instagram (@beerbiceps) to address the situation with his signature humor. Sharing a picture of vegan burgers, he captioned, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favorite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with death of diet.”

Later, in a more introspective moment, he posted a selfie with an eye mask and posed the question, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all.”

Ranveer Allahbadia, who began his YouTube journey at the age of 22 with BeerBiceps, now manages a total of seven YouTube channels, amassing around 12 million subscribers across them. His journey as a creator has inspired countless fans, and this hacking incident has left many in shock.

Cyberattacks on major content creators have become increasingly common. Earlier this year, prominent figures like chef Harpal Singh Sokhi, rapper MC Stan, comedian Bharti Singh, and influencer Sarah Sarosh also faced similar attacks on their YouTube accounts. Last year, YouTubers like Tanmay Bhat, social media personality Abdu Rozik, and stand-up comedian Aishwarya Mohanraj had their accounts compromised, though they were eventually able to recover them.

While Ranveer’s channels remain inaccessible for now, his fans are hopeful that, like those before him, he will successfully regain control and continue his career as one of India’s top digital creators.
