On Thursday, 26th September, popular Indian YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as ‘BeerBiceps’, became the victim of a cyberattack that led to the hacking of his two YouTube channels. According to reports, the Indian YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia cryptocurrency scammers hacked and deleted both his channels. In an Instagram post, Allahbadia revealed that hackers had taken control, renaming his channels to “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and “@Tesla.event.trump_2024.”

Reports indicate that the hackers deleted much of his content, including interviews and podcasts, and replaced it with old event footage featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump. YouTube swiftly removed the compromised channels, displaying a message indicating their unavailability. The incident where the cryptocurrency scammers hacked Allahbadia’s channels is alarming.

The hackers also posted videos featuring AI-generated avatars of Elon Musk, urging viewers to invest in cryptocurrency. They promoted a scam website, elonweb.net, claiming to double investments in Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Though Allahbadia has yet to release an official statement, he referenced the incident on Instagram, jokingly captioning a meal photo, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favorite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with death of diet.” Unfortunately, the Indian YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia cryptocurrency scammers hacked and deleted both his channels, causing significant disruption.

In another post, Allahbadia expressed concern, stating, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? It was nice knowing you all.” However, he later reassured his followers that he was focused on the next steps, feeling calm amidst the chaos. “Life always shows you the next doorway,” he added.

Starting his digital journey at the age of 22 with the launch of BeerBiceps, Allahbadia has since grown to manage seven YouTube channels, amassing around 12 million subscribers. As of now, it remains unclear whether the Indian YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, whose cryptocurrency scammers hacked and deleted both his channels, has regained access to his hacked channels.
