The authors of the BlackHole exploit toolkit have updated their creation to include new functionality that will automatically redirect users from a compromised website to one that serves the malware, according to researchers at Symantec.

The problem for BlackHole's creators has been when users visit a hacked website containing a JavaScript-enabled IFRAME that doesn't link to any malware.
