It wasn't in ThinkPads.
It wasn't only in Lenovo.
It was baked into the BIOS.
It only affected Windows, but Windows executed this pre-boot section and wouldn't allow it to be bypassed so reinfected after a reinstall.
It's removed by Windows Defender since 2015.
Is it a threat? Not at this point, but it should bring into question any Microsoft "secure computing" when they enabled this sort of behaviour with no way for users to protect themselves.
