Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails with malicious attachments or links. Another method is to exploit vulnerabilities in software or operating systems, allowing the malware to be downloaded and installed without the user's knowledge. Additionally, attackers may use drive-by downloads, where a user unknowingly downloads malware by visiting a compromised website.
