There are several common techniques used to distribute malware. One method is through phishing emails, where attackers send emails pretending to be from a legitimate source, enticing users to click on malicious links or download infected attachments. Another method is through malicious websites, where unsuspecting users are tricked into downloading malware disguised as legitimate software. Additionally, malware can also be distributed through infected USB drives or through exploit kits that take advantage of vulnerabilities in software to silently install malware on a victim's system.
