Yet another drive-by conspiracy theory by Suspect.

If this were true, why hasn't everyone been made aware.

If this were true, my car will not last more than 4 more months.

Why does the article say that vehicles need to be replaced, rather than the "vulnerable" PCM?

I have a progressive Snapshot device in the ODB2 port, and it does not modify the PCM.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would think many PCMs would use ROM (Read Only Memory), so the programming could not be altered once the chip was burned. Even if EEPROM were used, it would require a reflash and reprogramming to "infect" the vehicle.
