What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique to distribute malware is through email attachments. By sending an email with a malicious attachment, the recipient may unknowingly download and execute the malware. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded when a user visits a compromised website. Additionally, social engineering techniques, such as phishing emails or fake software updates, can trick users into downloading and installing malware.
