What are some common methods used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One effective method to distribute malware is through targeted email campaigns, where the attacker sends phishing emails with malicious attachments or links. Another method is to exploit vulnerabilities in popular software, such as web browsers or operating systems, and deliver malware through drive-by downloads. Additionally, malware can be distributed through compromised websites or by tricking users into downloading infected files from file-sharing platforms.
