What are some common methods used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common method used to distribute malware is through infected email attachments. By sending an email with a malicious attachment, the attacker can trick the recipient into opening the file, which then installs the malware on their system. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where a user unknowingly visits a compromised website that automatically downloads and installs malware onto their device without their consent.
