I believe should be Rootkit. Rootkits: Malware that provides privileged (root-level) access to a computer. Rootkits are installed in the BIOS of a machine, which means operating system-level security tools cannot detect them. Bootkits: Malware that is a kernel-mode variant of a rootkit, commonly used to attack computers that are protected by full-disk encryption Source: https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/resources/techbriefs/cybersecurity-survival-guide | Page 29
