This is quite disturbing. hardware needs to become more safer and prevent this shit

"A collection of functions for power management, known as the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI), has its own high-level interpreted language that could be used to code a rootkit and store key attack functions in the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) in flash memory, according to John Heasman, principal security consultant for U.K.-based Next-Generation Security Software."
Expansion ROM is terminus technicus used in PCI specification. Thus, no standard interface for programming is provided. However, this ROM is often implemented by flash memory, which can be reprogrammed and interface is device specific.
PCI defines how to access Expansion ROM. Sometimes you can program the memory chip using this access method.
Well apparently it's not wide spread...But the dumbass hardware makes need to create their hardware And make it More safe and IMMUNE to that rootkit shit
Hehe Watch what you download you internet Addicts...
