Well actually, if you have a Radeon card and you pair it with a Ryzen CPU, it can in fact happen and has happened in the past:

AMD themselves even confirmed it:

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-confirms-its-gpu-drivers-are-overclocking-cpus-without-asking

This is likely improper wording or they misunderstood AMD's comments. Ryzen Master works overriding settings at a software level, it can't alter the BIOS. I don't think even OEMs provide software with true kernel-level access to the BIOS anymore.

That being said (if the reports are real) it's probably just some dumb kids that don't know to boot in safe mode and reset whatever settings they left in place.
