If you're a FORTH programmer, can you comment on the validity of this?

"It was also unknown that the virus infects the BIOS of the computer it
infects by injecting a 624bytes backdoor written in FORTH which will
open port tcp when Mydoom will be executed AFTER febuary 12."


I'm not a programmer, nor am I a BIOS expert, but this seems bogus to
me.
