Common techniques to distribute malware include phishing emails, malicious websites, infected downloads, and exploit kits. Phishing emails involve sending deceptive emails that trick users into clicking on malicious links or opening infected attachments. Malicious websites can host malware downloads or exploit vulnerabilities in the user's browser. Infected downloads can be disguised as legitimate software or media files, while exploit kits take advantage of vulnerabilities in software to silently install malware on the victim's system.
