I think it is quite possible. As we can use webcam to connect to people from various places, it can be hacked too. In one of the forums I am a member a person said that the first thing he did when he purchased a laptop was to seal off the webcam with dark plastic. As per him it is very important to have a look at your webcam when your PC is on. In most of the PCs there is an indicator light and to be on a safe side as a simple solution just put a sticker or a bit of Blu-Tac over the camera eye. Precaution is always better than cure.
In the present situation anything that can be accessed can be hacked too. Hackers are very smart to take full control of your gadgets and it's actually happening. With the help of a key logger virus the hacker can actually see a live telecast of all your movements online including your passwords and username as you type it.
