I really found this part of the article lacking. How deep does the rootkit go to persist across OS reinstalls? Does it simply hijack windows's restore function

I really found this part of the article lacking. How deep does the rootkit go to persist across OS reinstalls?
Does it simply hijack windows's restore functionality? Or does it write itself to firmware to essentially become baked into the hardware.

(there is a PDF linked), no mention of surviving a format or clean reinstall.
