the key difference lies in the infection point: a watering hole attack compromises the specific website that the target is expected to visit, while a drive-by attack leverages vulnerabilities in the user's browser or associated software without compromising the target website itself. Both aim to infect users who visit certain websites but take different routes to achieve that goal.
