FWIW, they were acquired by the scumbags in late April/early May, and the latest published version is from mid-April. Currently installed versions are safe, and older versions are available on fosshub. IMO uninstalling isn't necessary, but don't update to any version post-v3.0.2.

Yep, if you check the Build Information tab, it will tell you the release date also. I don't think Audacity has an auto-update feature, so it won't download a newer build for you without asking, either.

My version's 2.4.2, that's safe right? I'd just like some clarification is all

To the best of my knowledge all currently available versions (that is, up to 3.0.2/mid-April 2021) are safe, yes.
