I know that in mathematical terms, finding a private key of a bitcoin address is virtually impossible ... but not impossible.

In this case, there is virtually no difference between the two terms.

Having said that, a site like https://www.privatekeys.directory/ gives the ability to virtually explore all the private keys existing in the elliptic curve. The Random button on the site https://www.privatekeys.directory generates pages of private keys that could reveal addresses with a positive balance!!!

This website is made for entertainment purposes only.

Considering that whale accounts and exchange accounts contain thousands of bitcoins, one lucky guy could accidentally find millions of dollars on hand !!

From what I understand the only defense against this event is to divide your assets into many accounts to reduce the risk. But even this trick can't ensure your funds aren't stolen by a lucky dude.

No. Math is probably the most exact science ever invented. You should learn some of it.
