ZDNet shares some news about the recent Adobe software patch that Bridge and its team discovered. We were happy to see this mention:
"Adobe credited five researchers for finding the zero-day --Charlie Arehart, Moshe Ruzin, Josh Ford, Jason Solarek, and Bridge Catalog Team.

Domain masking has a few benefits: - Raises the profile of your business' name (and downplays Bridge's name). - Boosts your Google ranking.
In the example shown, Vieuxtemps uses domain masking. It's website pages appear in this format:
