What are some common techniques used in malware propagation?

### REPLY:
One common technique used in malware propagation is phishing, where attackers send deceptive emails or create fake websites to trick users into downloading malware. Another technique is the use of exploit kits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in software to automatically infect systems. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering tactics, such as pretending to be a trusted source or offering enticing downloads, to trick users into installing malware.
