I'm not sure why. I've seen nothing that would lead me to change my opinions of him. I probably wouldn't feel so strongly about it had I not listened to a couple of his podcasts. I had several hours of driving ahead, searched for something that sounded interesting, found his "Security Now" podcast, and downloaded a few episodes. Keep in mind that his audience, AFAICT, is primarily made up of younger listeners who are relatively new to infosec as well as "non-techy" people en masse (the kind of people who get their tech support from a guy on the radio, as someone elsewhere put it). Now, I'm far from a security expert but I'm not exactly a "n00b" and it didn't take long at all until I heard him saying things that were just patently incorrect. When one is repeatedly wrong in an area in which they claim to be an expert, I tend to question their credibility. Others have found plenty of issues with "SQRL" -- arguably his best idea -- which he simply dismisses and I can still remember when he first presented "GENESIS" to the world. Oh, and be careful out there on the Internet, as your ISP-assigned reverse DNS "might uniquely identify you on the Internet". IMO, that's right up there with "your computer may be broadcasting your IP address". Last, remember, he's a marketing guy. That's his real area of expertise. He's certainly better at that than he is anything related to security.
