Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails to trick recipients into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded to a user's computer when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering techniques to trick users into downloading and installing malware disguised as legitimate software or updates.
