What are some common methods used to distribute malware?
Common methods used to distribute malware include malicious email attachments, drive-by downloads from infected websites, social engineering techniques such as phishing emails or fake software updates, and through infected USB drives or other removable media.
One effective method to distribute malware is by exploiting vulnerabilities in popular software applications. By identifying vulnerabilities in widely used programs, attackers can create exploit kits that can be used to automatically infect systems with malware when a user visits a compromised website. This method allows for widespread distribution of malware without the need for any user interaction.
