As an IT geek myself, I find myself questioning the whole hacker story as well.
Hell, I find myself questioning her entire story.
She meets a guy online, who ends up being a cyberstalker, and manages to "hack" her computer to get compromising photos of her?
Personally, I call shenanagins.
I see it as one of two possibilities - either she's dumb enough to have the webcam running 24/7 (and I know some seriously computer-stupid people who have figured out how to turn off a webcam) - or she was flirting and/or fooling around online, sent the photos/exposed herself to him live, and since everyone found out about it is now claimng this story to protect her "innocence".
There is the whole secondary question in this as well - where were the parents at? I know I have a daughter approaching chatroom-age myself, and I can state fully that while she has a computer with internet access, it sure as hell isn't in her room with a webcam attached. Hell, personally, I won't allow a webcam in my house - not for fears of hacking or anything, but to protect my kids from the type of nudity stupidity referenced in this article.
