What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique to distribute malware is through the use of botnets. Botnets consist of a network of infected computers, known as zombies, which can be remotely controlled by the attacker. Another technique is to use exploit kits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in software to deliver malware. Additionally, attackers can use malvertising, where malicious advertisements are displayed on legitimate websites, leading users to unknowingly download malware.
