Interesting that Streetview reconnaissance is being monitored. I wonder how many of our searches have been flagged up?

Is it though?

I'm not sure that's how they caught them. Things usually work the other way round, they identify the people through other means (the article reads that they were identified a while ago and have been on a watch list since) and then focus on what they've been looking at.

When they find the browsing history (either by getting the ISP to give them the logs of what they've been viewing or, by the sounds of it, just looking at the browsing history on the iPad in question) they can sift through what is there and work out what was naughty.

There simply aren't the resources to see who is looking at what on Google Streetview and determine whether it is for malicious purposes or not.

I suppose if the intelligence was that a specific building or person in a building was going to be targeted they could try and work out who had been looking at Streetview of that place, but that's a lot of false positive needles in a big haystack.

I'd forgotten that incident. Still brilliant!
