Last reports have been that no one knows who is behind the Jia Tan name
in real life.

So if that info is not "being withheld" then it is reasonable to
presume that no one has been detained yet.

And, if the attack, given its patience and sophistication, is as some
surmise, the work of state actors in the employ of their government
(i.e. NSA, CIA, Russia, China, North Korea, etc.) then it is unlikely
that anyone will ever be detained nor will anyone be named.
