found in the wild no evidence of actual infections in the wild
you know I shouldn't be disappointed by blatant lies in headlines with the state of journalism in current year but I still kinda am.

Thanks for saving my time.

You are disappointed because it doesn't have to be this way.

You can find it in the wild without finding evidence of infection.
I think in this context found in the wild means that the sample was found in the wild, just maybe not running.

I'm disappointed, but this is a good thing.

So, they are talking about a bootkit embedding itself into the uefi firmware, then the graphics show a malicious bootloader that resides in the EFI partition that can be removed by formatting.

imagine using uefi or bios at all
coreboot+grub2 superiority
