+Adversaries may implement command and control (C2) communications that use common web services to hide their activity.
+This attack technique is typically targeted at an organization and uses web services common to the victim network, which
+allows the adversary to blend into legitimate traffic activity. These popular services are typically targeted since they
+have most likely been used before compromise, which helps malicious traffic blend in.
