What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique used to distribute malware is through phishing emails. By sending convincing emails that appear to be from legitimate sources and tricking users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments, hackers can easily infect systems with malware. Another technique is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's device when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, exploiting software vulnerabilities or using social engineering techniques can also be used to distribute malware.
