Puush

Profile narrative

Puush operates as a screen sharing platform that enables users to transmit their computer display to others in real time. The software is offered for both Windows and macOS operating systems. Distribution of the client application occurs through an automatic update mechanism that delivers new versions directly to installed machines. The company’s headquarters are located in Australia. Puush’s service is aimed at individuals and organisations that require quick visual collaboration without the need for complex conferencing tools. By focusing on a lightweight screen sharing utility, it fills a niche within the broader remote‑access market.

A notable event in Puush’s history occurred on March 29, 2015, when a malware injection was discovered in a Windows client update distributed via its auto‑update system. The malicious code was disguised as a legitimate update, leading the company to advise affected users to uninstall the compromised software and change any locally stored passwords. Although Puush confirmed that its central files and databases were not altered, it warned that the malware could have harvested passwords saved on users’ machines, though actual data exfiltration could not be verified. A subsequent automatic update was released that detected and removed the threat from infected systems. Mac users were confirmed to be unaffected by the incident. The episode highlighted Puush’s reliance on its auto‑update channel and prompted a rapid response to mitigate the security risk.
