### REPLY:
Common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fake emails that appear to be from legitimate sources, tricking recipients into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Other methods include drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded when visiting a compromised website, or through the use of malicious ads or pop-ups. Additionally, attackers may also use infected USB drives or social engineering tactics to trick users into downloading and executing malicious files.
