One person was sent the URL in a private myspace chat. Another was trying to extort the cable companies and had given them a private URL (presumably something like www.comcast.com/skldflksdf/freemoney4me.html) to post their response to. The FBI then set up that page to use a browser exploit to install the logger.
All instances were done under court order with almost the same restrictions and provisions a normal wiretap would have.
