Check. Check. Nah.

Say someone decides to see if he can calculate the private key related to my adress he found on some Blockexplorer... What can I do against this?

If that was possible nation state actors with virtually unlimited funds and computing power would be slurping up BTC left and right, and we wouldn't be here now.

If that was possible, the world’s infrastructure would be completely vulnerable to the same actor. Stealing UTXOs is not the way to make the most out of a way to crack SHA256.
