It's the entire mandate of the NSA's Utah Data Center. Archive all the world's encrypted data until such a time as it can be decrypted when either the algorithms have been cracked or machines are powerful enough to brute-force.

Or maybe they found a way to outsource brute forcing the keys.

128 bits will never be bruteforced. There's nothing to outsource. The only actual risk is that the encryption algorithm is cracked.
