That sounds like they are spying on the screen content of the control server, but that they can't access files on disk. Maybe they commandeered a web cam in the same room that faces the server. If the criminals got wind that they were being spied on, maybe they left some highly inflated and misleading data on the screen.
I wonder if the final report will be a "Spy vs. Spy" episode in Mad Magazine.
