What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique to distribute malware is through email spam campaigns. By sending out large volumes of unsolicited emails with infected attachments or malicious links, unsuspecting users can be tricked into opening them, thereby infecting their systems. Another method is distributing malware through fake software downloads from torrent websites, where users are lured into downloading cracked versions of popular software that are bundled with malware. Additionally, malvertisements (malicious advertisements) can be displayed on legitimate websites, redirecting users to websites that host malware.
