What are some common methods used to distribute malware?
Common methods used to distribute malware include malicious email attachments, infected websites, drive-by downloads, and malicious ads. These methods exploit vulnerabilities in software or trick users into downloading or executing malicious files.
One common method to distribute malware is through exploit kits. These kits contain prepackaged exploits that target specific vulnerabilities in popular software. When a user visits a compromised website, the exploit kit automatically scans for vulnerable software on the user's system and delivers the appropriate exploit to install malware. This method is highly effective in infecting a large number of users quickly, making it a popular choice among cybercriminals.
