Easy Peasy, even if you don't know the person
1. Find a boarding pass
2. Lookup person in the origin or destination area, better if the name isn't too common
If you actually know the person, then it's a piece of cake
That's absurd. None of this is particularly secret information, especially not the name and aadvantage number. You should have to at least call in if you're resetting your password and don't have access to your email, so at least you're a lot more on record about committing identity theft/fraud if you're trying to abuse this.
I guess I'll never be cavalier about leaving my boarding pass on the plane, or throwing it away intact into a random trash can in the airport.
