exploiting compromised certificates requires an active adversary-in-the-middle attack, meaning the attacker must act as a proxy between two TLS parties and receive encrypted traffic, decrypt it, reencrypt it, and send it to the other party.

People with control of a local network—at a coffee shop, university, or other organization—face much less of a challenge.
