Gregory's Server@ralfmaximus @dangoodin Sorry, I answered a question you didn't even ask in my last post. Such a low-level attack would probably mean that you are a person of interest. It's probably the kind of thing where a state sponsored actor would use zero-days to get installed. But also, yes, there are people who are willing to bypass everything or turn off an anti-virus to install cheat software or whatever else they think they're installing.
@ralfmaximus @dangoodin It's also a good thing to have defense in-depth. Considering that all software can be compromised, you want as many layers as possible. You would hope that there is another level of security preventing the motherboard firmware from being compromised if the OS is compromised as well.
