What kind of data does a VPN hide from cyber attacks?

Asked 2 years ago

Hello people, I have a university test coming up. One of the topics is to do with VPNs and cyber security. Does anyone know exactly what type of data a VPN can hide from hackers? I know it already hides my IP address but are things like my search history and passwords still visible?
