Some common techniques used to distribute malware include email phishing campaigns, where attackers send deceptive emails with malicious attachments or links. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded when a user visits a compromised website. Malicious advertisements, also known as malvertising, can also be used to distribute malware. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering tactics to trick users into downloading or executing malicious files.
