What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One effective technique to distribute malware is through targeted email campaigns. By sending carefully crafted emails, attackers can trick users into opening attachments or clicking on links that will download and install malware on their systems. Another method is to create fake websites that look legitimate, enticing users to download infected files or enter personal information. Additionally, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in software to initiate drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded and installed without the user's knowledge or consent.
