What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique to distribute malware is through phishing emails. By crafting convincing emails that appear legitimate, attackers can trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's device when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering tactics to manipulate users into downloading and installing malware, such as disguising it as a legitimate software update.
