In a hilarious move on August 8, a renowned French ethical hacker Elliot Alderson tweeted #IamBinod from his official handle. His tweet triggered widespread laughter on the internet, as many overseas followers on his list were baffled as to what he meant. Meanwhile, the Indian audience at once started to connect the dots to investigate the hacker’s Indian origin. Alderson had Tweeted himself as Binod on a request made by one of the users.
Alderson further uploaded another post that read ‘Elliot Binod Alderson’. In a subsequent tweet, he shared a DM, in which, an Indian man asked for assistance with generating his Aadhar card. The “bogus” comments, the idea that sparked the #BINOD movement online read, “Hai Elliot sir”. It goes on to say, “I'm from India, My aadhar card not generated. Please reply sir. Bro help me.” Alderson shared the screenshot, saying, “this guy is sending me weird messages for 2 years”. Alderson not only notified the people that he is Binod, but he also, in fact, took an opportunity to explain in great detail about the Binod comments that he had been dealing with.

Paytm changed Twitter handle name to ‘Binod’
Earlier, the popular Indian e-commerce payment company Paytm changed its verified Twitter handle name to ‘Binod’. The term that has picked up as a viral meme fodder across India’s social media after a viral YouTube video related to Indian comments sections posted by the renowned group, Slayy Point, had a user named Binod Tharu who commented ‘Binod’ on the video titled "Why Indian Comments Section is Garbage (BINOD). Instantly, the user was in the spotlight. YouTubers took notice of the humour, and launched a meme fest on either the term “Binod” dedicated to the bogus comments or the person Binod for his witty remark, well, that remains unestablished.
