What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique is to create a fake website that mimics a legitimate website and trick users into downloading malware-infected files. Another method is to send phishing emails with malicious attachments disguised as legitimate documents. Additionally, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in software or web browsers to perform drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded without the user's knowledge or consent.
