What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique used to distribute malware is through email attachments. By disguising the malware as a harmless file attachment, users may unknowingly download and execute the malicious code when opening the attachment. Another method is through social engineering, where attackers trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected files. Additionally, hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in software or operating systems to distribute malware through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded when visiting a compromised website.
