There are several common techniques used to distribute malware. One method is through malicious email attachments or links. Hackers can send emails with attachments that contain malware, or they can include links to websites that host malware. Another technique is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit a compromised website. Malicious advertisements, also known as malvertising, can also deliver malware when users click on them. Additionally, hackers can distribute malware through peer-to-peer file sharing networks or by exploiting vulnerabilities in software or operating systems.
