### REPLY:
Some social engineering techniques used in malware attacks include spear phishing, where attackers send personalized emails pretending to be someone the target knows and trusts, in order to trick them into revealing sensitive information. Another technique is baiting, where attackers leave physical devices like USB drives containing malware in public places, hoping someone will pick it up and use it, thus infecting their system.
