What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique to distribute malware is through phishing emails. By disguising the email as a legitimate message from a trusted organization, users are tricked into opening attachments or clicking on links that contain malware. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malicious code is injected into legitimate websites, exploiting vulnerabilities in the user's browser. Additionally, malware can be distributed through malicious ads, social engineering tactics, or by exploiting software vulnerabilities.
