Well, as you could see from your log, unattended-upgrades did it job and
upgraded security packages. If you want to keep those auto
updates/upgrades for security packages ( not that you will get much more
updates than those now that stretch is stable ), you do not have to do
anything. Security updates will be done automatically. If you want to
prevent automatic upgrades and disable them, because you want to do it
manually like you are used to, you should edit file
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades and change it from this:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";

to this:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";

If you want to keep those unattended upgrades working, settings are in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades. For further reading and
explanation look here:

or just duckgogo/google it, there are few nice explanations.
