while the quality traffic advocates respond

English term or phrase: while the quality traffic advocates respond
FIGHTING INVALID TRAFFIC HAS NO FINISH LINE
The individuals behind invalid traffic are motivated by two desires: to hack and to steal. It’s that simple and they don’t stop doing either. Ultimately, there is no goal line. Those behind high-risk traffic hack and steal practices continue to be perpetrators ***while the quality traffic advocates respond***.

Does it mean "until the moment they respond" or "at the same time they respond"?

Explanation:
It's "while" as in "whereas". It's contrasting one group's role as instigators whereas the other group can only respond to what the first group did.
