What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique used to distribute malware is through exploit kits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in software to deliver malicious payloads. Another method is through social engineering, where attackers trick individuals into downloading or executing malware. Additionally, malware can be distributed through malicious advertisements, known as malvertising, or through compromised websites that have been injected with malicious code.
