### REPLY:
Some common social engineering techniques used in malware attacks include phishing emails, where attackers impersonate legitimate organizations and trick users into revealing sensitive information. Another technique is baiting, where attackers leave infected USB drives or other enticing objects in public places, hoping someone will pick them up and unknowingly execute the malware. Additionally, attackers may use scareware tactics, such as displaying fake virus alerts, to convince users to download and install malicious software.
