There are several common techniques used to distribute malware, including email phishing campaigns, drive-by downloads, malvertising, and social engineering tactics. For email phishing, attackers send deceptive emails that appear to be from a legitimate source, tricking users into downloading or opening malicious attachments. Drive-by downloads occur when users visit compromised websites that automatically download malware onto their systems. Malvertising involves placing malicious advertisements on legitimate websites, which can lead to malware downloads. Social engineering tactics exploit human vulnerabilities, such as manipulating users to click on malicious links or download infected files.
