Bitcoin system is safe by nature.
In general, hacking incidents come at the expense of user mistakes.
As far as I know there is an estimation of the seed words by the brute force method.

Is it possible to attack only the bitcoin address? For example, I have a BTC address. And there is a very high amount of BTC at this btc address.

Is this BTC address hackable?

Definitely. This is the problem with Bitcoin. It is not 100% certain. If somebody works out the math between the address and the key, your money is gone. You can't get it back. Once they move it, say goodbye to it.

For now, just cross your fingers and hope they won't learn the math relationship between the address and the key. But when they do, it is over. It's just science. Lots of things once impossible, are totally possible today.

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.

It's not possible , you need access to private keys in order to gain access to the bitcoins . If by the seed , you are talking about the random generated ones by wallets like Electrum and Multibit HD then unless the hacker have at least a small idea about the passphrase , It's impossible for him to brute force it.
