What are some popular methods for distributing malware?
Some popular methods for distributing malware include email attachments, infected websites, malicious ads, and file-sharing platforms. Attackers often disguise malware as legitimate files or use social engineering techniques to persuade users to download or execute malicious software.
One highly effective method for distributing malware is through drive-by downloads. This technique involves exploiting vulnerabilities in web browsers or plugins to automatically download and install malware onto a user's device without their knowledge or consent. Another method is to use malicious USB devices that automatically execute malware upon insertion into a victim's computer, allowing for quick and easy infection.
