What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common technique to distribute malware is through the use of exploit kits, which exploit vulnerabilities in software to deliver malware onto a user's system. Another method is social engineering, where attackers manipulate individuals into downloading and installing malware by disguising it as legitimate software or enticing them with attractive offers. Advanced persistent threats (APTs) also utilize targeted attacks to distribute malware, often through spear-phishing emails or watering hole attacks.
