22,000+ incidents in the Verizon DBIR. Man-in-the-middle? Less than 4%, mostly phishing proxies. Not TLS interception.

Forward Secrecy killed "record now, decrypt later." So what actually compromises your connections?

How likely is a man-in-the-middle attack?

A stolen TLS private key sounds catastrophic. But thanks to forward secrecy, it can't decrypt recorded traffic. The only thing left is server impersonation, and that requires network position that ranges from "be in the same room" to "be a nation-state." We looked at the data on how often this actually happens.
