Never reading things on the internet, my doctor always tells me this@frogboy you are right
I think I should stop reading about these topics on the internet or I will be crazy

Yep, but still lower than aliens eliminating the whole planet by the time you reply back. I am still alive so the chance of never getting this is looking good.but still possible
He'd probably have more things to worry about than this thing here if that's the case.If possible, follow security advice to remain malware-free. If not, good luck.
The odds of an alien invasion are astronomical (pardon the pun!) For starters, we don't even know life exists elsewhere and the universe is such an immensely vast place!Lol, good luck. This scenario is beyond science fiction. The chance of aliens eliminating the whole planet by the time you read this message is higher than a typical user to find such a malware.
There'd be economic reasons and high skill to stop that from happening.I agree, better to be realistic.
But, in my opinion, it is necessary to monitor with attention the evolution of new forms of malware, which are not always PoC written by researchers for scientific purposes.
Indeed, it is necessary that security vendors rely on them and preventing the spread of malware potentially devastating on global level.
Think of what would happen if the BIOS of all the machines used for the management of the public thing, were infected in non-reversible way. All of us would be left without services, and governments would be forced to spend millions of dollars to resolve the matter (in many cases replacing the infected machines), obviously doing fall all on our pockets.
Fingers crossed, we should.
Maybe the paradox of it then not happening is the real reason.The odds of an alien invasion are astronomical (pardon the pun!) For starters, we don't even know life exists elsewhere and the universe is such an immensely vast place!
Of course, also it is necessary to say that old sample, like the above mentioned Mebromi, probably wouldn't be able to infect 64-bit systems, nor to do any harm on systems with non-administrative account.Can't remember which episode but the Security Now podcast recently addressed this issue
Because a listener asked about buying a used machine off Ebay.
And basically said there is currently no malware scanner that addresses BIOS/UEFI based malware
However, common opinion states this is HIGHLY unlikely! Question about possible UEFI/BIOS infection - Forums
For used hardware, wouldn't reflashing the BIOS/UEFI will make sure of that it's clean.Can't remember which episode but the Security Now podcast recently addressed this issue
