What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One popular technique to distribute malware is through the use of exploit kits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in web browsers, plugins, or operating systems. Another method is to create fake websites or malicious advertisements that trick users into downloading and executing malware. Additionally, hackers may also use social engineering tactics, such as posing as a legitimate company or individual, to convince users to download and install malware.
