What are common techniques used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One effective technique to distribute malware is through targeted email campaigns. By crafting convincing phishing emails that appear to be from trusted sources, attackers can trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is to create fake websites that host malware and lure unsuspecting users to visit them. Additionally, exploiting software vulnerabilities and offering infected downloads disguised as legitimate software updates is another way to distribute malware.
