Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fraudulent emails disguised as legitimate organizations to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another technique is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's device when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers can also use social engineering tactics, such as enticing users to click on malicious pop-up ads or download fake software updates.
