What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One of the most effective techniques to distribute malware is through targeted email phishing campaigns. By sending emails that appear to be from a trusted source, attackers can trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is to compromise legitimate websites and inject malicious code that can automatically download malware onto visitors' computers. Additionally, attackers can use social engineering tactics to manipulate users into installing malware, such as disguising it as a legitimate software update or enticing them with fake prizes or offers.
