    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.

      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.

    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.
