Some common techniques used for malware distribution include phishing emails, where attackers send fake emails posing as legitimate entities to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering techniques to manipulate users into downloading and installing malware, such as disguising it as a legitimate software update or offering free downloads.
