Today, millions of people use the internet for personal and business purposes, making the digital world an indispensable aspect of our daily lives. However, with this growth, the risks that come with the digital environment also grow.

Following a hack, the name of his personal channel changed to “@Tesla.event.trump_2024” and his channel Beer Biceps to “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024.”

Not only that, but the hackers also removed every video from the channels and replaced them with old clips of Donald Trump and Elon Musk from different occasions. The hackers apparently tried to persuade users to buy cryptocurrencies by using a false livestream featuring an artificial intelligence (AI) version of Elon Musk.

Now, the channels are no longer available on YouTube, displaying a message stating,

This page isn’t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.
