When it comes to the 51% attack, it's a serious concern, but fortunately, the Bitcoin network has robust defenses in place to prevent such attacks. The sheer amount of computing power and resources required to control over 50% of the network makes it highly unlikely, if not practically impossible, for anyone to successfully execute a 51% attack on the Bitcoin network.
I've been exploring the crypto space myself and came across ASIC Miner Compare at asicminercompare.com/. Basically, it's a website that offers comparisons for mining profitability. While it's more focused on mining, it might still give you some insights into the security and profitability aspects of mining.
