Dang you are fast! I came here to post this as well.
Suppose this isn’t that surprising, but the name is a bit of a misnomer then. Normally they have “friends & family” alphas for internal employees which is named entirely that, not beta. So that’s certainly been a bit misleading!
For those who cannot access blizz forum:
Hey folks! I’ve got a small update here to help quell some of the rumors and let you know where we are at for WoW Classic. We recently began a phase of internal employee alpha testing. The new build data that many of you have been discussing over the last few days is simply part of this process. Phases like this allow us to test out the game content along with other functionality that will be used in the live game, like logging in through the Blizzard Battle.net App.
Aside from that, we don’t have any announcements to make at this time. I know all of you are very excited about this game and we thank you for your patience as we continue to develop it. More information will be coming soon!

This is a blue post from Blizz.

Phases like this allow us to test out the game content along with other functionality that will be used in the live game, like logging in through the Blizzard Battle.net 119 App.
So that explains the rumors & also shows us they are making progress.
