do you mean comprised?

"Compromised" means that some system has been taken over by unwanted other actors. For instance, if there was a mole during an internal meeting between activists and that mole secretly reported it to the police, that meeting would be considered "compromised". You might also hear the word in cybersecurity, where your account, server, etc. is "compromised", as it is being accessed by malicious users.
