I mean, maybe paranoia is the wrong word.. it's not something that I'm personally worried about, but stuff like that has actually happened.

Yes, if you live and organize your life around things that are unlikely to happen to you, but only because they've happened ONCE to someone else, typically a high value target by state actors, that's called paranoia.

Most people are not gonna be targeted via BIOS hacks. From state actors to online scammers they all have easier ways to getting your data remotely.
