What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique to distribute malware is through targeted email campaigns. By sending out phishing emails that appear to be from a legitimate source, attackers trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is to create fake websites that appear to offer legitimate software or services, but actually deliver malware when users download or interact with the content. Additionally, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software to deliver malware through drive-by downloads or by exploiting software vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to a system.
