### REPLY:
Some common social engineering techniques used in malware attacks include phishing emails, where attackers pose as legitimate organizations and trick users into clicking on malicious links or providing personal information. Another technique is baiting, where attackers leave infected USB drives or other physical media in public places, hoping that someone will plug it into their computer. Additionally, attackers may use pretexting, which involves creating a false pretext or scenario to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information.
