### REPLY:
Some common social engineering techniques used in malware attacks include phishing emails, where attackers impersonate legitimate entities to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another technique is baiting, where attackers leave infected USB drives or other devices in public places to entice curious individuals to plug them into their computers. Additionally, attackers may use scareware tactics, displaying fake security alerts or warnings to convince users to download and install malware disguised as security software.
