What are the common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
The most effective and covert technique to distribute malware is by hacking into a legitimate website and injecting malicious code into its pages. This way, unsuspecting users who visit the compromised website will unknowingly download malware onto their devices. Another technique is to send targeted emails with infected attachments, disguising them as legitimate files or documents. Additionally, spreading malware through peer-to-peer file sharing networks is also a popular method, as it allows for widespread distribution without being easily traced back to the original source.
