A cybersecurity company called Eclypsium has made a startling
discovery. They found a hidden backdoor in the firmware of
motherboards (the main circuit board in a computer) made by a
Taiwanese company called Gigabyte, and this backdoor makes the
motherboards easily accessible for hackers to break into.
Gigabyte apparently integrated a Windows executable file into the
firmware of its motherboards. This file is executed when the
computer starts up, meaning that each time you restart your
computer, the firmware's code activates Gigabyte's app center. This
app center then proceeds to download and run a file from the
internet.
I'd appreciate some technical language, instead of layman first
grader speak.
What you posted is impossible to decipher.

Have it translated to Spanish. Maybe that will help.
