What are common techniques used to distribute malware?

One common technique to distribute malware is through the use of exploit kits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in software to infect users' devices. Another method is to use botnets, which are networks of infected computers that can be controlled remotely to distribute malware. Additionally, hackers often use social media platforms and messaging apps to spread malware by disguising malicious links as legitimate content.
