If it ran 0.56.2, or you installed bee-js 13.3.0 via npm on 9 Nov 00:09–01:30 UTC: from a clean device move your node funds and stake to a new wallet, rotate every password and key used on that machine, then reinstall the OS and set up Swarm Desktop 0.56.3 with a new key.
Update on the 9 Nov Swarm Desktop / bee-js incident: the malicious releases are removed, the credentials involved were replaced, and Swarm Desktop 0.56.3 is safe to install. But 0.56.3 does not clean a machine that ran 0.56.2.
Details and checks:

If your Swarm Desktop updated itself on 9 Nov, it may have run 0.56.2 for a few hours before moving to 0.56.3. The version you see now tells you nothing. Search your Swarm Desktop log files for "Bee Desktop version: 0.56.2". Paths and steps per system are in the Discord post.
Swarm Desktop 0.56.1 and earlier and bee-js 13.2.0 and earlier are not affected. Do not install any other Swarm Desktop version for now. Reinstall 0.56.1 from https://t.co/RuuKh5hysq. Details and removal steps are in the Discord announcement.
Security notice: Swarm Desktop 0.56.2 and bee-js 13.3.0, published on 9 Nov, were malicious and have been removed. They stole the node key and installed remote access. If you updated Swarm Desktop today, move your funds and stake now.

An agent with a USDC wallet on Base can now rent storage on Swarm by itself. @ethswarm#storage
Ask our gateway, get an HTTP 402 with a price, sign, send again. Two requests. No signup, no BZZ, no bridge.
x402 v1 and v2, live on Base mainnet. Alpha. https://t.co/wtEUOVd3AA
The music is free when the artist is free. Thank you @akprettyok@tomosaito and Swarm for holding the question with us. Then straight back to the stage, the way it should be 🎶
Where are the servers?
At Devcon 8, Bálint Ujvári showed live collaborative editing in @EthereumRemix with no server in the middle: WebRTC carries the edits, a CRDT merges them, @ethswarm hosts it all.
Collaborative workspaces, beta. Try the demo room:

Building agents at @ETHGlobal Mumbai?
Give them a record they can't rewrite: store what they produce on @ethswarm, add a fingerprint and a notary signature. Pre-release, test network.

@EFDevcon 2027 in Lisbon was announced with a bang! 🔥
What a week in Mumbai! So many great people, conversations, and memories.
Thank you to everyone who made this Devcon so special.
See you in Europe! 🇵🇹
“Swarm: a server nobody owns.”
At @petfold's The Loop Economy session at Devcon, we shared a vision for a marketplace without a platform, where offers live on Swarm and trades are verified on-chain.
Open infrastructure for markets without gatekeepers.
Swarm recommended!
@akprettyok takes on a rather provocative proposition: what happens to artists, audiences, and the economics of culture when access is no longer the commodity?
Who controls the media we publish, distribute, and preserve?
@rakymnft brings the question of decentralized media infrastructure to @EFDevcon 8.
