The part I thought worth bringing here was it looks like they were tipped off by Adobe, which is not the company I would have expected to trigger CSAM:
>The complaint said the investigation into the younger Brennan originated in 2024 with a tip from the software company Adobe to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, a child protection organization. Virginia authorities searched his home in July 2024, and the case was referred to the FBI last month, according to the criminal complaint.
For sure it's all found through the cloud service Adobe offers and scanning the contents there. It's the very same what happens when things like OneDrive and GOOG drive, APPL iCloud, etc, get installed on the wrong machine: they start sync'ing the files and scanning them for CSAM and other secrets
