There are several techniques commonly used to distribute malware. One method is through phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails that appear to be from a legitimate source to trick users into downloading malicious attachments or clicking on malicious links. Another technique is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering techniques to convince users to download and execute malware, such as disguising it as a legitimate software update or offering fake software downloads.
