I always figured Diary!Tom just asked Ginny who SHE knew to be 
Muggle-born and that they directed the basilisk.

SSSusan:
And with this, I guess I figured it was more "family talk," e.g., 
Draco coming home & telling his daddy about "the worst of the 
Mudbloods" at Hogwarts, which would be sure to include Hermione.

But there MIGHT be some kind of detection device! :-)
