The answer, according to a hacker, is yes.



A hacker told BBC in 2013 that it's relatively easy to access someone's webcam. The said hacker admitted to hacking over 500 PCs and sold info to others for as low as a dollar.



"There's always pervs on the internet who want to buy female 'bots', and most likely if they want a webcam they take photos and sell it," the unnamed hacker said.



He revealed that access to a woman's webcam can be sold for USD1 (RM4.10), but the same amount could buy access to 100 computers owned by men.
