Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails pretending to be from a trusted source to trick users into downloading malicious attachments or visiting malicious websites. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's system when they visit a compromised website. Malvertising is also a popular technique, where malicious advertisements are embedded on legitimate websites, and when clicked, they redirect users to websites hosting malware.
