> Internet data shows that last summer, a computer server owned by Russia-based Alfa Bank repeatedly looked up the contact information for a computer server being used by the Trump Organization — far more than other companies did, representing 80% of all lookups to the Trump server.

Where does this “internet data” come from if they’re not wiretapping either of the servers?

There are a few companies that collect and sell large amounts of DNS lookups. You can too if you set up a DNS server and get people to use it. One company claims to have data for the majority (I forgot the exact percentage) of all DNS lookups.
