Is it possible for a VPN to be hacked?

Asked 2 years ago

Hi all. Not sure if this is a silly question but I was recently advised to install a VPN on my computer but I'm having some doubts. I have a lot of personal family photos and data on there that I don't want compromised. If I install a VPN, what are the chances it can be hacked and my data exposed in a cyber attack?
