Looks like Lenovo, Gigabyte and HP are affected. I'm sure there will be more.

Lenovo doesn't seem to learn from their mistakes. I thought they would've stopped shipping malware after the Superfish scandal but they haven't.

I like how in the article, the author recommends in order to get rid of it people install Ubuntu, which has also been known to spy on its users.

In fairness, it's not just Lenovo affected by this. But it does seem like they are intent on destroying their respected name and hardware. The wounds of the mistake that was the x240 are still fresh as well.
