No peer reviews of debunked safety claims

They often use the companies selling insecure gadgets as their source, instead of independent security researchers finding many ways to break their joke of security. They prevent any objections by not allowing comments, which is a big warning sign of bad quality information.

They even spread the old debunked myth that "NFC is safe due to the short range". This was proven false by scientists when an amplified card reader could skim payment cards from several meters away, an experiment that has been repeated in many countries. NFC is only safe for the person controlling the antenna's strength and when to enable it. A payment card is passive and cannot refuse incomming requests from far away.
