Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where the attacker tricks the recipient into opening a malicious attachment or clicking on a malicious link. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where the malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers can also use social engineering techniques to convince users to download and install malicious software disguised as legitimate programs.
