Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded when a user visits a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may also distribute malware through infected USB drives, malicious ads, or by exploiting software vulnerabilities.
