What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One effective technique to distribute malware is through phishing emails, where the attacker impersonates a trusted entity and convinces the recipient to click on a malicious link or download an infected attachment. Another method is to create fake websites that appear legitimate, but actually contain malware. Social engineering tactics can also be employed, such as tricking users into running a malicious file or giving away sensitive information. Additionally, malware can be bundled with legitimate software or spread through exploit kits that take advantage of vulnerabilities in software.
