How can malware be spread through exploit kits?

### REPLY:
Exploit kits are powerful tools used by hackers to exploit vulnerabilities in software for the purpose of spreading malware. By infecting legitimate websites with malicious code, hackers can redirect users to exploit kits without their knowledge. These kits then scan the user's system for vulnerabilities and deliver the appropriate malware. Exploit kits are often sold on underground forums, making them easily accessible to cybercriminals. It is important to stay updated with the latest security patches and avoid visiting suspicious websites to minimize the risk of being infected by malware distributed through exploit kits.
