Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A BIOS-based rootkit is a type of malware that can be installed in the firmware of a computer's BIOS, which enables it to persist even after the operating system is reinstalled. This makes it a popular choice for disgruntled employees who want to maintain access to the company network even after they leave. Embedded browsers, unclassified kernels, and patches are not relevant to this scenario.
