>3- Over-the-Air Firmware Updates...
Mate I feel like you're getting your security know-how from watching Mission Impossible.
"Over-the-Air" doesn't actually mean you can magically beam SW updates wirelessly through the air to the Intel chip like in the hacker/spy movies, as airgapped networks, as per name, don't have wireless cards.
Intel ME still requires a network connection to the internet/network from which you want to apply the update. If you're on an airgapped network this becomes impossible to do without first breaching the airgapped network physicality, but this is not what happened according to the article, they just compromised some employee Microsoft/O365 account which is on the less secure network anyway and probably stole whatever IP they could find shared through the e-mail accounts and on Sharepoint.
