Popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, recently fell victim to a cyber-attack as a result of which his YouTube channels were hacked and many of his old videos were deleted.

In an Instagram post, Ranveer revealed that hackers changed the name of BeerBiceps to "@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024" and his personal channel to "@Tesla.event.trump_2024."

A majority of his interviews and podcasts were deleted and replaced with old streams from events featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

In response, YouTube took down the hacked channels, displaying the message, "This page isn't available."

Allahbadia has not issued an official statement about the hack but addressed the situation on Instagram.

Posting a picture of a meal, he wrote, "Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favourite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet."

In another story, he posted a selfie with an eye mask, humorously captioned, "Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all."

Ranveer Allahbadia began his YouTube career with the launch of BeerBiceps at the age of 22, and has since grown his digital career with seven channels and amassing a whopping 12 million subscribers.

He has interviewed a wide range of prominent figures including actors, politicians and other celebrities.
