I don't think that MI-5 or CSIS (etc) are spending any more of their effort trying to root out these threats. They've probably been going on as if nothing has changed.
What has changed is the media perception and focus. They're getting huge ratings, so a lot of things are being blown out of proportion. This causes governments to put more focus on it, but still not to the extent that the media portrays. If I were to believe most of what the media says, nothing else ever happens in government - which is complete and utter BS.
