Could this be the end of traditional AV and Cloud AV?

Some motherboard have built-in virus protection so it will not be so difficult, anyway this badbios look more a scifi thing that a real threat

Agreed, but do not mistake a few hard coded virus signatures within the bios for a fully fledged protection because the bios protection is a joke.
In regards to Bbios malware yes it does look scifi but the report does look scifi to, while on the other hand the test report was clear enough to see that its not that scifi.
Personally i would like to add that most do not realize what technology today can do, the options available to Anti virus and security developers is amazing, however the average hackers tool box and government sponsored malware industry is by FAR a hell of a lot more spectacular.
I believe that our Chinese "friends" have proven so in the past 10 years lmao.
So for both you and me this whole thing might look scifi but in the right hands this might be everyday stuff. NASA, and ESA come in mind not to mention the NSA and its international counterparts, they are probably so far ahead of the security industry so go figure.

Take the CMOS out when you turn your PC off. LOL
I don't doubt that any of this is impossible, but it may be years away, if at all.
Nonetheless, it is a necessary discussion.
