What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One effective way to distribute malware is through drive-by downloads. By exploiting vulnerabilities in a website's code, attackers can inject malicious code that automatically downloads and installs malware onto visitors' computers without their knowledge or consent. Another method is to disguise malware as legitimate files, such as software updates or cracked versions of popular software, and distribute them through torrent sites or file-sharing platforms.
