### REPLY:
Common techniques used in ransomware attacks include phishing emails with malicious attachments or links, exploit kits that take advantage of software vulnerabilities, drive-by downloads from compromised websites, and social engineering tactics to deceive users into downloading and executing the ransomware. Once the ransomware is executed, it encrypts the victim's files and demands a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key.
