Cool new virus

First reported by the German magazine C'T, a new virus has been discovered. This one damages your computer by flashing the BIOS with garbage. I'm surprised how long it took for someone to come up with this. It only works on certain boards since there is no standard way of flashing roms. Also, it requires the installation of a promiscuous operating system that does not protect memory and I/O locations by default. AVP has released more details here. At least it's not this bad.
