What are some common social engineering techniques used in malware attacks?

### REPLY:
One common social engineering technique used in malware attacks is spear phishing, where attackers send personalized emails to targeted individuals, often pretending to be someone they know or trust. The emails may contain malware-laden attachments or links to malicious websites. Another technique is called "vishing," which involves using voice calls or VoIP services to deceive individuals into revealing sensitive information. These techniques can be highly effective in gaining unauthorized access to systems and stealing sensitive data, such as login credentials or financial information.
