What are some common methods used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common method to distribute malware is through the use of botnets, which are networks of infected computers controlled by a central command and control server. These botnets can be used to send out massive spam emails containing malware attachments. Another method is to exploit vulnerabilities in popular software or operating systems and deliver malware through exploit kits. Additionally, attackers can also use social engineering techniques, such as pretending to be a legitimate company or offering free software downloads, to trick users into downloading and installing malware.
