How can malware be distributed through malicious websites?

### REPLY:
To distribute malware through malicious websites, attackers can create fake websites that imitate popular legitimate websites or services, tricking users into downloading malware disguised as legitimate software or updates. Another method is to embed malicious code into the website's HTML or JavaScript, where the code is executed when visitors access the site, leading to the download and installation of malware onto their systems.
