Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fraudulent emails with malicious attachments or links. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's system when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, malware can be distributed through malicious advertisements, infected USB drives, or exploiting software vulnerabilities.
