What if every single scientific discovery in history was forwarded to a bunch of public-facing guys who said, "Nope, this isn't true." Where would we be then? Remember Galileo? Every single person technical person worth their salt owes themselves the favor of doing their own research, and forming their own opinions. I don't know if BadBIOS is real or not, but until I've done my own research and reached my own conclusions, I (politely!) refuse to take other people's opinion on the matter. Unverified claims? By who? I refuse to believe what amounts to speculation, conjecture and hearsay by any party! Also, please think about "The Streisand Effect" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect) when you make posts deferring to debunking by a supposed authority. All I know is that before you posted, I was not interested in BadBIOS... now I am... and I'm going to do my own research on the matter.
