There indeed has been a tailscale 1.12.2 release 16 hours ago.
But unlike the previous releases, it does not have any notes attached with it yet.
It is more likely that it was published to users for a short amount of time by an automated system, before being manually unpublished again (for whatsoever reason) than your tailscale network being hacked
v1.12.2 ran into a problem on ARM/Linux systems like Raspberry Pi, and was withdrawn last night. v1.12.1 is the current release now. We expect to release a 1.12.3 in the next few days.
I downloaded a number of different releases of v1.12 that didn’t seem to update the Tailscale management UI’s version, even though the installed software reported v1.12. I can provide more specifics if it’s helpful.
