What is the meaning of the expression compromised account and can it be in any back? and can it be only digital procedure? Is it can be manually done?

A compromised account is an account that can be used or accessed by someone or something, other than the intended user.

If I somehow were to find out your log in details for a site, that account is "compromised".

"log in details"

The username and password you use to connect to some service.
Like...."shaharhada" and whatever password you use.
