We know from Backwarder that the akumatized victims' thoughts are not known, otherwise Hawkmoth would have known about Master Fu and his real name before Backwarder SAID it. "What? You know the Guardian of the Miraculous?" He had no idea who he was akumatizing!

So the only way for HM to know Chat's identity is for CN to either say something or for CN to change back afterwards and it's aired on television, etc. Because after the object is destroyed, HM should lose contact with the victim and he would also essentially lose sight of them as well.
