Today I got a popup that my Mac needed a restart to install updates. It looked like an official Mac systems pop up, but there was no option to ask for details on what the update was. But it looked like a genuine Mac popup.
I haven't knowingly downloaded any mac updates, but I do have the security auto update option ticked. I clicked on the pop up to see if it would give me any information but it just asked for my password to authorise the update. I didn't authorise it, and it went away ie the popup and the password dialogue box.
I have Sophos AV/anti-malware running and I have double checked with the the deep clean option on Clean my Mac anti-malware, and it seems nothing is on my Mac that shouldn't be there.
I'm just a bit suspicious as normally I need to instigate an update, but I wasn't aware that the auto update of security updates was ticked, So maybe this has been going on in the background, and this particular update needs authorisation and a restart..
Has anyone any experience of this. I'm running th latest version of Monterey 12.7.2
