### REPLY:
Common techniques used in malware distribution include email spam campaigns, where malicious attachments or links are sent to unsuspecting users. Another method is through malicious websites or drive-by downloads, where users are tricked into downloading and installing malware unknowingly. Malware can also be distributed through social engineering techniques, such as fake software updates or enticing advertisements that prompt users to click on them, leading to malware installation.
