Advice Request Malware at BIOS level

[tryinganon]

Hello Everyone,

I just would like to seek advice on how to properly check for BIOS level compromise?
What are the type of BIOS attacks?
What to do if compromised at the BIOS level?

Some AV solutions have an option to check UEFI for malware (ESET, Kaspersky, maybe some others too).
If compromised I would flash my BIOS and password protect it. Most importantly I would try to find out how I got compromised.

... and password protect it.

Definitely agree with this.

There are BIOS for video, NIC, and drive too. So, it would be best to just replace them? Or is reflashing an option too?
