Did anyone else get a silent update last night. 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 on Mojave.6 ...bluetooth dongle, Logitech dongle, nomachine, steam, lastpass, and a couple others deauthorized. iSentry was running and didn't miss a beat, but my logitech wireless keyboard/trackpad was disabled along with bluetooth and the others listed. Had to plug in a keyboard and mouse to get logged in.... needless to day i've disabled updates now.

Anyone else ever have something like this happen?

No all seems well for Late 2013 iMac. I have auto updates OFF or check for updates DISABLED. I don't want Catalina Loading on my iMac.

My macbook air and mac mini fueled by Mojave 10.14.6 did not receive any updates,
but the problem could be with your other (non-apple) equipment receiving updates.
im having trouble with software and other small nuances with Mojave this year.

Sort of a cumulative update as abovementioned, idk for your specific macOS version or hardware component.

The update history is available in the System Information app – Software – Installations
From Terminal:
- to find all installations made in 2022
system_profiler SPInstallHistoryDataType | grep -B 4 "/22,"
alternative command, if the year is displayed in full
system_profiler SPInstallHistoryDataType | grep -B 4 ".2022"
- to find the installations made by softwareupdate
softwareupdate --history

Just checked (for the OP's sake), no updates available on my Mac (10.14.6).
Maybe your USB slot or Bluetooth has failed.

OP asked:
"Anyone else ever have something like this happen?"

It will not happen to me, because one of the very first things I do with a new Mac (or a new OS install) is to TURN OFF all automatic updates.

I don't mind being informed that an update is available.
But I don't want it installed "behind my back".
I'll make that choice.
