My wife updated Big Sur to 11.6.5
I tried to do the same but I cannot find this update.
I am still on Big Sur 11.6.4.
If this version does not exist, she might have been hacked
Has anyone an answer for me please
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
The last (released) Big Sur update is 11.6.4. When she selects Apple () menu > About This Mac, does it actually say 11.6.5? She was not hacked.

EDITED
If she is running Big Sur 11.6.5 that is either a mis-read or Beta Software
softwareupdate --list-full-installers
Finding available software

I get the same list, 11.6.4 is the latest shown by softwareupdate. However, another Mac that is in the beta program has some plist files showing version 11.6.5. I can't check the About This Mac because it never made it through that last update, it won't boot normally. But trying to fix it by installing 11.6.4 on it using a USB drive fails with "can't downgrade". So the OS on it must be later than 11.6.4. Did Apple publish a problematic 11.6.5 and immediately pull it?
Well I found out that it IS the latest Beta
There is odd enough no information from Apple regarding 11.6.5
i will try to do a clean install and go back to the former version
Any discussion of Apple Beta Software here is Prohibited.
As a Beta Tester - the User ( you ? ) would be violating the Non Disclose Agreement Beta Testers agree to when signing up for Beta Testing.
Yes, I know and there is no discussion whatsoever. I am just worried about a scam.
No one ever heard of this version!
Speculation ?
Good point, thanks for the reminder. So presumably no one at MacRumors is in the beta or developer programs ;-)
If/when I figure out how to recover my bricked Mac, I won't post anything here.
You are welcome
Do come back to the ASC Forums, ( Apple Support Communities ) in the future, if / or when additional question may arise
what is the latest version of Big Sur?
