Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails with malicious attachments or links. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's device when visiting a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering techniques to trick users into downloading and installing malicious software, such as fake antivirus programs or software updates.
