What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique to distribute malware is through a drive-by download, where malicious code is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit an infected website. Another method is to disguise the malware as a legitimate file or software update and distribute it through torrent sites or file-sharing networks. Additionally, hackers can use exploit kits to take advantage of vulnerabilities in outdated software or operating systems, allowing them to remotely install malware on targeted systems.
