What are some common methods used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common method to distribute malware is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded and installed when a user visits a compromised website. Another method is through the use of exploit kits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in software to deliver malware. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering techniques, such as tricking users into clicking on malicious links or opening infected email attachments.
