What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
A common technique to distribute malware is to exploit vulnerabilities in popular software programs, such as Adobe Flash Player or Java. By finding and exploiting these vulnerabilities, hackers can gain unauthorized access to a user's system and install malware. Another method is to create fake websites or advertisements that appear legitimate but actually contain malicious code. These websites or ads can trick users into downloading and executing malware unknowingly.
