Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fraudulent emails posing as legitimate organizations to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Other methods include drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded when a user visits a compromised website, and malicious ads or pop-ups that redirect users to infected websites.
