What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique used to distribute malware is through email spam campaigns. By sending out mass emails with malicious attachments or links, cybercriminals can trick users into downloading and executing malware. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded and installed when a user visits a compromised website. Additionally, social engineering techniques can be used to manipulate individuals into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected files.
