BlackHole Exploit kit to release version 2.0

This exploit kit is one of the best known to date.  We don’t yet know all the new exploits that could be added into version 2.0 and it’s authors will have done their best to obfuscate mush of their work.  But it can be assumed that this latest Java exploit would be included.  There are quite a few web based Java applications out there that require users to remain on specific, vulnerable versions of Java client which makes them a high risk target.  If you’re a developer of a Java application you need to ensure that your application will support updated Java versions or take your application offline.
