Some common techniques used to distribute malware include email phishing campaigns, where attackers send deceptive emails containing infected attachments or links to malicious websites. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where users unknowingly download malware while visiting compromised websites. Malware can also be distributed through malicious ads or social engineering techniques like fake software updates or free downloads.
