What are some common techniques used to distribute malware?
Common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, malicious attachments or links, drive-by downloads from compromised websites, malicious advertisements, and social engineering tactics like fake software updates or fake antivirus alerts.
Some underground forums and hacking communities offer services like botnets for hire, where you can rent a network of infected computers to distribute malware. These botnets can be used to perform large-scale attacks and distribute malware through spam emails, malicious websites, or even direct downloads.
