Well, I've been going on the theory that Miraculous bearers are immune to Akumatization, based on what I've seen in the show.

The major implication is that Hawkmoth seems to read his victim's minds before transforming them, since he knows the source of their anguish and all the related details, which then inspires him to make a supervillian based on that information. So if Ladybug wasn't protected in some way, he'd learn her secret identity fairly quickly just by that initial scan.

And secondly, he's never been able to sense Marinette and Adrien at all, further evidence he can't scan/Akumatize them either. Given how often Marinette flies into jealous rage or some other negative emotion, if she could have been Akumatized by now, she would have. Adrien has experienced this less frequently, but he still has his moments and he's never been Akumatized either.
