Please post some detailed analyiys of what's going on here. What data gets out? What type of suspicious activities?
- Have you tried package-capturing with wireshark on the internet connections your laptop makes?
- Are you sure that there's no other attack point in your network that could be more easily infected than a BIOS?
- Have you checked your phone for instance?
- Have you checked the Master Boot Record of your harddrive?
- Have you checked your router?
- Have you tried unhackme (rootkit scanner) ?
A BIOS is very device specific, which would mean that either somebody finds you very interesting on a level that's NSA-tech worthy, or China hackers just leveled up.
I have a hard time just believing this, and there's a ton of attack angles that would be much more efficient to bug someone.
Also. Since when was hacker news downgraded to a personal helpdesk?
