End of My Career': BeerBiceps aka Ranveer Allahbadia After YouTube Channels Got Hacked

YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, fell victim to a cyber attack on both his English and Hindi YouTube channels. He shared on his Instagram stories that both channels had been hacked, with the hackers changing the names of BeerBiceps to "@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024" and his Hindi channel, Ranveer Allahbadia, to "@Tesla.event.trump_2024."

Most of his interviews and podcasts were deleted by the hackers, who replaced them with old video streams from events featuring Elon Musk and former U.S. President Donald Trump . YouTube then took down both hacked channels, displaying a message stating, “This channel was removed because it violated our Community Guidelines.”

Initially, it was reported that Ranveer Allahbadia was in Singapore during the attack, but it was later confirmed that he was in Mumbai. He issued an official statement about the hack, and instead of panicking, he calmly posted a picture of a burger and fries, captioned, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favourite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet,” followed by “Back to Mumbai.”

In a subsequent story, he shared a selfie wearing an eye mask with the caption, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all.”

Ranveer began his content creation journey at 22 and was one of the first to start podcasts in India. His guest list includes fitness influencers, Bollywood stars like Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan, and recently, notable figures such as India's Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar , and Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal. Recently, he recorded a podcast with the Chief Minister of Maharashtra , Eknath Shinde , and ISRO Chief Dr. S. Somnath. 

He was also awarded the Disruptor of the Year by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the National Creators Award, held at Bharat Mandapam in March. 

Since then, he has expanded to seven YouTube channels, amassing around 12 million subscribers. However, it remains unclear if he has been able to recover his channels.
