There are several common techniques used to distribute malware. One method is through email attachments, where the malware is disguised as a harmless file. Another technique is through malicious websites or pop-up ads, which can automatically download and install malware onto the user's system. Additionally, malware can be distributed through infected USB drives, compromised software downloads, or even through social engineering tactics such as phishing emails or fake software updates.
