What are some common methods used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
A common method used to distribute malware is through a technique called "watering hole" attack, where the attacker compromises a legitimate website that is frequently visited by the target audience and injects malicious code into it. When users visit the compromised website, their systems get infected with malware without their knowledge. Another method is to create fake software updates or fake antivirus alerts that trick users into downloading and installing malware on their systems.
