  3. Fefe (aka Felix Leitner, IT-security expert) reacts to this on his blog:

Does anyone here use MSI products? They just had their private keys stolen.

This includes the Intel OEM private key for Bootguard.

If someone’s private key is stolen, it means that the private key was accessible from the net. For this alone you should cross this company directly and forever from your shopping list. But even if you don’t buy from MSI, but let’s say from Lenovo or Supermicro: The key is now leaked. Thanks, MSI!
