Some common techniques used for malware distribution include phishing emails, malicious websites, drive-by downloads, and social engineering tactics. Phishing emails involve sending deceptive emails that appear to be from a legitimate source, tricking users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Malicious websites are designed to exploit vulnerabilities in a user's browser or operating system to download and install malware. Drive-by downloads occur when a user visits a compromised website and malware is automatically downloaded without their knowledge or consent. Social engineering tactics involve manipulating users through psychological manipulation or deception to trick them into installing malware voluntarily.
