We are also in Ventura County.
None of our apple/mac devices were affected. They are all fairly recent
(at least ARM)
However, I personally did get an iPhone notification at THAT TIME
(approximately 11:30 am) that they were planning on installing IOS
18.3.2 later tonight.

I am in Ventura county, California, and just now at 11:30AM PT we had an
iPhone, an iPad, and an iMac all crash simultaneously. The Ethernet-connected
iMac had a black screen of death, and the iOS devices were on WiFi and had to
be power cycled. These would seem to have to have been network-initiated
events, and the iPad when it came back online said “Your device has been
updated to 18.3.2”. The iPhone 16Pro, was updated to 18.3.2. yesterday and
displayed no unusual message upon power-on. The iMac is an older model Retina
5K 27” from 2014 running MacOS 10.11.6.
I’m reporting this here in case an Apple-initiated automatic network update
process is running amok. In my experience, Apple products never update without
telling you first, and even automatic updates have always happened in the dead
of night and require the device to be plugged into power. The probability of
three devices, all from the same manufacturer, randomly crashing
simultaneously, seems remote. Which is why I suspect something network driven.
None of our linux, android, or windows devices were affected.
Has anybody else seen something similar?
