Generally speaking, they don’t necessarily need to know the individual behind it from the outset.
They would typically pursue the operating entity, i.e. the company facilitating payments for the goods/services where the IP is allegedly being infringed. From there, identifying information can potentially be obtained through providers such as Cloudflare, domain/WHOIS records, Stripe, PayPal, hosting providers, etc., usually through the appropriate legal process.
So hiding personal details publicly doesn’t necessarily mean the operating entity is untraceable.
