Does this mean that desktop computers are sending (or at least can send) your Wi-Fi passwords from the OS into the motherboard firmware? I don't know if I want them to do this at all, but if they must, I hope it's being done explicitly.
I just realized there was actually a linked article and... The way they actually do it seems worse.
Eclypsium automated heuristics detected firmware on Gigabyte systems that drops an executable Windows binary that is executed during the Windows startup process.
This executable binary insecurely downloads and executes additional payloads from the Internet.
