され meaning I keep seeing the word され being used, such as 押され, and 発見され. What does it mean?

It's not a word, it's a suffix for the masu stem form of the passive voice (or possible other identical forms, depending on the verb). 押す -> 押される (passive/causative) -> 押され (stem form) 発見する -> 発見される (passive/honorific) -> 発見され (stem form)
