Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where the attacker sends emails impersonating a trusted entity to trick the recipient into downloading a malicious attachment or clicking on a malicious link. Another technique is malvertising, where attackers inject malicious code into legitimate online advertisements. Drive-by downloads are also commonly used, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit a compromised website without their knowledge or consent.
