Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may also use social engineering techniques to convince users to download and install malicious software disguised as legitimate applications.
