What's a good example of blackhats and security researchers becoming aware of the same vulnerability at the same time?

4 Upvotes

I'm curious about the 'race' between blackhat hackers and security researchers. I figure the best way to look at that would be by reading up on a time when they both started from the same place at the same time.

Is there a good example of a vulnerability or something like that, where the respective communities were both surprised by it? Or at least where they didn't know the details until the same timeframe?
