There are several techniques that can be used to distribute malware to unsuspecting users. One common method is to use phishing emails, where the attacker sends emails that appear to be from a trusted source, such as a bank or a social media platform, and trick the user into clicking on a malicious link or downloading a malicious attachment. Another technique is to exploit software vulnerabilities and deliver the malware through drive-by downloads, where the user unknowingly downloads the malware when visiting a compromised website. Additionally, attackers can use social engineering techniques to trick users into downloading and executing malware, such as disguising it as a legitimate software update or a free application.
