Common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send deceptive emails with malicious attachments or links to trick users into downloading malware. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's device when they visit a compromised website. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering tactics to trick users into downloading malware, such as disguising it as legitimate software or using enticing offers to lure victims into clicking on malicious links.
