Ranveer Allahbadia

The popular YouTube channels of influencer and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as BeerBiceps, have been successfully restored after being hacked late Wednesday night on September 25. The breach, which occurred around 11:30 pm, led to the deletion of all videos, and both channels were renamed by the hackers. One channel was renamed “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and the other “@Tesla.event.trump_2024,” featuring content related to Tesla CEO Elon Musk and US Presidential candidate Donald Trump. Initially, YouTube took down both channels, redirecting visitors to a “404 not found” page displaying the message, “This page isn’t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.”

However, the “Ranveer Allahbadia” and “BeerBiceps” channels have since been fully restored, with all videos once again accessible to viewers. Despite this, the “Home” sections of both channels still display the message, “This channel doesn’t have any content,” causing some confusion among fans, although the videos can be viewed via other tabs.
