Cybercriminals use obscure domain names like this because they are less likely to be recognized by users, less likely to be pre-emptively blacklisted by security solutions, and harder to associate with a specific entity. They can be registered quickly, used for a brief period to conduct attacks, and then abandoned, making them difficult to track, investigate, and take down by law enforcement or security researchers.
