What are some common social engineering techniques used in malware attacks?

### REPLY:
In a social engineering attack, you can use personal information obtained from social media platforms to create targeted phishing emails. By crafting convincing messages that appear to be from a legitimate source, you can trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Additionally, you can exploit the trust individuals have in their peers by sending malware-laden files through messaging applications or by pretending to be a friend in need of assistance.
