Recent works have considered the situation of riddling where, when a chaotic attractor lying in an invariant subspace is {ital transversely} {ital stable}, the basin of the attractor can be riddled with holes that belong to the basin of another attractor. We show that riddling can be induced by arbitrarily small random noise {ital even} {ital if} {ital the} {ital attractor} {ital is} {ital transversely} {ital unstable}, and we obtain universal scaling laws for noise-induced riddling. Our results imply that the phenomenon of riddling can be more prevalent than expected before, as noise is practically inevitable in dynamical systems. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
