How can malware be distributed through infected websites?

### REPLY:
To distribute malware through infected websites, attackers can use a technique called drive-by downloads. This involves exploiting vulnerabilities in popular web browsers or plugins to automatically download and install malware onto the visitor's device without their knowledge or consent. Once the malware is installed, it can perform various malicious activities, such as stealing sensitive information or turning the infected device into a part of a botnet. It is important to keep web browsers and plugins up to date to prevent such attacks.
