It's so telling that ASUS is pretending nothing went wrong, never informed customers of the hack and continued using the compromised signing keys:

It's a clear demonstration that they're completely untrustworthy. It fits the experiences I had with them.

I once accidentally triggered a bug in an ASUS motherboard via UEFI nonsense which bricked it. I wasn't looking for bugs or anything like that. They denied it was broken and sent me back my RMA'ed board with fresh BIOS chips, claiming they did nothing. The bug was never fixed.

I was so frustrated when they said they were sending it back claiming that nothing was wrong with it, and I thought I'd need to buy a new motherboard. It turned out they'd replaced the BIOS and wiped the state, but without acknowledging they actually did anything to repair it.

I've never owned any Asus hardware, but I always joke whenever my friends buy Asus laptops that they'll probably become bricks within a month. I think it's come true more often that not. They have terrible quality problems, even regardless of their trustworthiness.
