Only if you define "compromised" as possession of the unencrypted private key.

The RHEL signing keys have, however, been used by an unauthorized
party to sign unauthorized packages. Some people would say that that
qualified as "compromised" on any reasonable definition.

Incidentally, what does "with high probability" mean? Anything more
than "we're pretty sure, but we can't really say how sure"?
