Some common methods used to distribute malware include email attachments containing malicious files, drive-by downloads from compromised websites, malicious advertisements (malvertising), and spreading malware through peer-to-peer file sharing networks. Additionally, hackers may also use social engineering techniques such as phishing emails or fake software updates to trick users into downloading and installing malware on their devices.
