Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fraudulent emails disguised as legitimate organizations to trick users into downloading malicious attachments or clicking on malicious links. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may also use malicious advertising, known as malvertising, to inject malware into legitimate online advertisements.
