There are several common techniques used to distribute malware. One method is through email attachments, where attackers send malicious files disguised as legitimate documents. Another technique is through malicious websites or ads, where users are tricked into downloading and installing malware. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering tactics, such as phishing emails or fake software updates, to trick users into downloading and executing malware.
