Commentary received
| Vendor | Commentary phase | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| K7 Computing | Phase 1 | “Feedback on improvement of the test has been provided separately to the Tester.” “We believe improvements are warranted.” |
| Kaspersky | Phase 1 | “After scrutinizing the Test Plan document, we‘ve made a decision not to participate in this test. There is no regulation about legitimacy of mining tools and their definition at the moment, so different points of view, which are similar to a PUA topic, could happen.” |
| Sophos | Phase 1 | “Sophos is always open to tests that comply with AMTSO standards. However, we are respectively declining the invitation to participate in the Nioguard Anti-Cryptojacking Test. While we are confident in our ability to protect against malicious cryptomining, we do not feel that a comparison with the Acronis Backup product is a like-for-like comparison and are concerned a comparative test would lead to unnecessary market confusion.” |
