What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique used to distribute malware is through phishing emails. The attacker sends an email pretending to be a legitimate organization and tricks the recipient into clicking on a malicious link or downloading an infected attachment. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where the malware is automatically downloaded onto the victim's computer when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may also use social engineering tactics to convince users to download and install malware disguised as legitimate software.
