When I was in highschool people would do this all the time to each other by attaching trojans to files to gain access to webcams. This was the days of Windows 98, and security was almost non-existent for most users.

People would get someone infected, and then share the credentials so everyone could watch. So, I personally know of a handful of people that were spied on 20 years ago.
