I noticed the same, but then i found the Steve Gibson Security Now podcast https://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm

The episode archive has a whole course on security,with a focus on the web

At your own risks.

I'd say 10 or so false claims over 10 years is not really that bad. I've talked to security experts who enjoy the show. It is more for entertainment and industry news, I think people who compile lists like the above linked are trying way too hard and makes me wonder why they hate Gibson so much.

Would I hire him to do pentesting on my app? No.

Would I enjoy listening to him talk on a podcast about security related topics. Sure, I do.

I would skip the Steve Gibson stuff altogether.
