Why? If they were good enough to do what they did, they surely know how to cover their tracks. I would at least be open to the possibility that they 'may' never be known. They might dance in the virtual end zone at some point.

Yes, Donald Trump, you can catch hackers not in the act

Elizabeth Weise , USATODAY

Excerpt:

That's not a view embraced by the thousands who have made their job ferreting out hackers.

"Cyber criminals always leave evidence behind and forensic cybersecurity capabilities have advanced to the point where we can identify and analyze hacks faster than ever before,” said Barak Klinghofer, co-founder and chief product officer at Hexadite, a Boston-based company that does cyber-threat incident response.

No less an authority that Kevin Mitnick, a hacker who spent five years in prison for computer-related crimes, tweeted that Trump was wrong and that hackers can be caught after the act.

"Take it from someone who knows this fact very well," said Mitnick, who now has his own consulting company, Mitnick Security.
