Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded when visiting compromised websites. Additionally, attackers may also use social engineering tactics, such as posing as a legitimate organization or using fake software updates, to deceive users into downloading and installing malware.
