When breaking into a network, attackers have to balance operative security vs correlation:

- If they use a TLS certificate (to activate SSL/TLS encryption), they can be used to identify other attacks against other organisations, or other campaigns against other types of targets.

- If they go with unencrypted communications, it is easier to write signatures to identify and even block attacks, unlike when encryption is used which require defenders to use a decryption device (SSL/TLS decryption) that sits inline on the network ingress/egress port.

Also, if you as a defender use a SSL/TLS decryption device, you break the certificate model and it can be detected by an attacker and Certificate Revocation Lists does not work either.
