Computer AIDS!

[frontlemon]

Three days before I flashed the bios of my computer and after rebooting I came across this webpage while browsing the internet:

http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/10/meet-badbios-the-mysterious-mac-and-pc-malware-that-jumps-airgaps/

Imagine the shock I received at that moment

Also I came across sites that have expressed their disbelief:

http://www.infoworld.com/d/security/4-reasons-badbios-isnt-real-230636?page=0,1

What do you guys think? :thinking:

I think that some of the elements of this "BadBIOS" is remotely possible. I am also afraid that virus developers can take lead from these fact/hoax and can truly develop something that can really be of some concern

I think you can relax now. If the malware could breed as easily as that we would all have it by now. We haven't so it isn't happening. Not yet, but someone somewhere is surely trying to make the concept work.

Then we will have a problem :worried:
