Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fake emails pretending to be from a legitimate source to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded to a user's computer when they visit a compromised website. Malvertisements, or malicious advertisements, are also used to distribute malware by injecting malicious code into legitimate ad networks. Additionally, attackers may use social engineering techniques to persuade users to download malware-infected files or visit malicious websites.
