The BadBIOS virus that jumps airgaps and takes over your firmware whats the story?

The BadBIOS virus is said to infect the low-level system firmware of your computer. It’s said to be multi-platform, affecting Windows, OS X, and OpenBSD systems. It can’t be removed or disabled simply by rebooting; it can’t prevent infected systems being booted from CD drives. The virus is also said to have first been seen more than three years ago on a Macbook; it’s not known what it does or how it spreads it. The details have only come out in the past short while, so we can collectively be excused for not knowing a lot just yet.”]
