Ever wonder why hackers are stealing encrypted data they can't even read yet? It's basically the digital version of a long-con-stealin' the safe now because they know someone is gonna invent the key later.
So, harvest now, decrypt later (hndl) is a long-term espionage play. Advesaries aren't looking for a quick win; they're gathering massive amounts of encrypted traffic today and dumping it into "cold storage."
