When I brewed today I collected 3 mason jars of wort for yeast starters in the future. I microwaved them and the tops sucked in. Do I need to put in refrigerator?

I can't give a definitive yes or no, but my thought is this: canning will not kill every single microbe. That's why canned foods still have a shelf life.
Do you need to refrigerate it? No. But it will last longer if you do.

Freeze it, it's going to last longer than just refrigerating it.

Those are good points..... It really only has to last 1 or 2 weeks. I fairly certain this will save me the ordeal of making a dme starter. If this works I will never bother with that.

It boiled from the 2 min in microwave. I think it will be fine. The worst thing I have done to contaminate my beer is not use enough hops so far. I am very careful though.

I did not have enough homebrew in me for that to happen.

This did not work, today all three jars had a foam layer. One of them put a dent in the top of the mason jar. It smelled bad too. I hope I didn't ruin my brew.... The one I used did visibly boil when I added the room temp top up water. I used two week old Wlp 090 slurry, about 200 ml.
I know. If you want canned wort to be shelf stable, you have to pressure cook it. 212 isn't going to cut it.
