Some common methods used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Drive-by downloads are another method, where malware is automatically downloaded when a user visits a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering techniques to manipulate users into downloading and installing malware by disguising it as legitimate software or by exploiting software vulnerabilities.
