What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
Common techniques for distributing malware include phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method 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 tactics to trick users into downloading and installing malware disguised as legitimate software.
