### REPLY:
A common social engineering technique used in malware attacks is known as spear phishing. This involves sending targeted emails to specific individuals or organizations, pretending to be a trusted source such as a colleague or a bank. The email may contain a malicious attachment or a link that redirects to a fake website designed to steal login credentials or install malware. This technique can be highly effective in gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information.
