That is a damn scary program.

You're not wrong: I have an airgapped computer, nothing critical or sus, mainly just for writing and work, on a computer that is less privy to pinging, attacks, malware etc, and while the badBIOS seems to be something utilised towards high-value persons, you can imagine the damage that could happen if it spreads in the wild, and begins attacking indiscriminately.
