Public addresses are 160 bits in bitcoin, so it depends on your character encoding. But yes, very long and random. Pieter Wuille has a very interesting talk on public addresses and some novel work he did to drastically improve address error detection. Worth a watch for some cool computer science. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqiN9VFE4CU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqiN9VFE4CU Honestly, it's kind of surprising that these kinds of exploits don't happen all the time since base layer bitcoin transactions alone secure $14 trillion in annual transfer volume in recent years. That's a huge honey pot for malicious attackers that seems to mostly go under exploited.
