Not very common on a Mac. I assume the System Update came up... Mac users are used to it and what it looks like.

That all said, this was a "long existing" problem, so while it is a critical issue its probably a low priority one. It also existed in iOS, so make sure you update those too. That one is probably a bigger deal, since mobile devices are more likely to be on untrusted WiFi networks.
