Even if not booking for themselves, the beneficiary would have to at least know the culprit, I mean hackers don't just book flights for randos in an attempt of ill-advised charity.
Both Alaska and I have the names and contact information for who booked tickets using miles from my account. As far as I know Alaska made no effort to pursue them most likely because they're in China.
