These are just weather scientists? Were there really no better targets to come after? And why not steal the data instead if wiping it

the way large amount of data is moved is physically moving the drives, because transfering it over the internet might take months or years. an online calculator says that it would take about 6 months to transfer 2pb over a 1 gigabit connection.
