Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send disguised emails with malicious attachments or links. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded when visiting a compromised website. Malvertising is also commonly used, where legitimate online advertisements are injected with malicious code. Additionally, file sharing networks and social engineering tactics can be employed to distribute malware.
