Some common techniques to distribute malware include phishing emails, where the attacker impersonates a trusted entity to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's device when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, malvertising involves placing malicious advertisements on legitimate websites, which can infect a user's device when they click on the ad.
