Some common social engineering techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers pose as legitimate organizations and trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another technique is to use fake software updates or alerts that prompt users to download and install malware unknowingly. Additionally, attackers may impersonate technical support personnel or use social media platforms to deceive users into downloading malware-infected files.
