Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where the attacker poses as a legitimate entity to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's device when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may also use social engineering tactics to convince users to download and install malware by disguising it as legitimate software or updates.
