[Bellerophon86]

Just read an interesting article about Apple automatically pushing a security update to Macs.

Mine has not been updated yet. Did anyone here receive this update?

Yes mine updated automatically on my Mac mini.

Why is it such big news that a Mac got an automatic update?

Mine was waiting for me to install.

Why is it such big news that a Mac got an automatic update?

It's badly worded.

What they mean is a forced/pushed update.

We've had automatic updates for years.

Except it's not, at least not for everyone.

I received a notification of a security update automatically installed this evening.

First time I've ever seen that message.

Haven't even bothered to check, I was just explaining.
