### REPLY:
Some common techniques to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fake emails pretending to be from a legitimate source and tricking users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is through malicious websites or drive-by downloads, where users unknowingly download malware by visiting compromised or malicious websites. Additionally, attackers may also use social engineering techniques such as fake software updates, fake antivirus programs, or malicious ads to trick users into downloading and installing malware.
