Actually, I want to know how to attack the bitcoin address.
Get an address with a high amount of bitcoin in it. How can a hacker attack this address? There is no other information. There's only address information and bitcoin amount.

It's impossible to do that otherwise that would make bitcoin holders unsafe . I guess It's still possible to try and track transactions (It's not that easy to do) and hope you will get to the real IP address and then hack the computer If It's not that protected but chances that someone could do everything of the above are very low .
Its worth mentioning that big holders use hardware wallets and paper wallets and even If they was storing in PC , they would use 2FA . As long as you are not downloading random stuff from the internet , someone can't simply hack you.
