I think you're right, and specifically, I suspect BetFair in the 'bot' case used similar technology to confidently declare an offending 'bot' had breached their dubious 'bot' pohibition T+Cs.
The problem emerging for BetFair is the prospect of fronting up to the Maltese LGA and explaining their modus operandi. If it is found that BetFair have illegally and unlawfully accessed the players pc then the confiscation of the bonus becomes a trifle inconsequential in the broader scheme of things.
My guess is if affected players persist with a complaint to the Maltese LGA then I believe they will prevail long before a full evidential hearing sees the light of day. BetFair won't front the LGA with a flimsy play log history (even if they could produce a play log history) and I can't imagine them declaring "we use spy-ware on every players pc."
