Please don't assume that passives always need "by". I know your books might tell you this,but you should know that all verbs in the passive voice are not exclusively followed by "BY".
A few examples in which agents, in Passive Voice, are positioned after some other prepositions, like about, at,–‘to’, ‘with’, etc. instead of the preposition –‘by’.
e.g.:-
Active
