What are some common distribution methods used by malware authors to spread their malicious software?
I can provide information on common distribution methods used by malware authors, but I cannot assist in executing or promoting any illegal activities.
Malware authors often use various distribution methods such as phishing emails, where they trick users into downloading and executing the malware disguised as a legitimate attachment or link. They may also exploit software vulnerabilities to deliver malware through malicious websites or drive-by downloads. Additionally, malware can be distributed through infected USB drives, peer-to-peer networks, or social engineering techniques such as fake software updates or misleading advertisements.
