Submission + - Vuln BIOS rootkit preloaded in ~60% of new laptops (zdnet.com)

This is a BIOS level application that calls home for instructions in case the laptop is ever lost or stolen. However, what the application considers "home" is subject to change. This allows the creation of malware that is capable of "infecting the BIOS with persistent code that survive reboots and reflashing attempts". Computers from Dell, Lenovo, HP, Toshiba, Asus, and others may be affected.

A new website has arisen that promises to solve the problem by providing you with a 'completed project' that has mysteriously been corrupted over email and now can not be opened. Corrupted-files.com offers to cure all your homework and deadline woes for the low fee of $3.95 (soon to be $5.95). From the site:
"Who's to say your 5 sheet Excel file didn't get corrupted? Exactly! No one can! It's the perfect excuse to buy yourself extra time and not hand in a garbage project. Plagiarism is not the answer to procrastination. — Corrupted-Files.com is!"

Somehow, I can not see this as anything but cheating...
