the claim

Using a VPN prevents hackers from compromising a device.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that using a VPN prevents hackers from compromising a device?

Partly. One peer-reviewed source states VPN encryption alone is not enough because devices may communicate before the tunnel is established, while other sources describe VPNs as providing secure encrypted connections that mitigate intrusion risk. None of the retrieved items directly settles whether using a VPN prevents hackers from compromising a device.
