Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fraudulent messages to 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 computer when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may distribute malware through infected USB drives or by exploiting vulnerabilities in software or operating systems.
