### REPLY:
Some common social engineering techniques used in malware attacks include phishing emails, where attackers impersonate legitimate organizations to trick users into revealing sensitive information or downloading malicious attachments. Another technique is baiting, where attackers leave infected USB drives or other devices in public places, hoping that someone will pick them up and plug them into their computer. Additionally, attackers may use scareware tactics, displaying fake security alerts or warnings to manipulate users into downloading and installing malware.
