Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fraudulent emails that appear to be from a legitimate source to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another technique is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's device when they visit a compromised website. Malvertising is also a popular method, where attackers place malicious ads on legitimate websites to infect users' devices when they click on the ads.
