    Aren’t IPs prone to change though?
    If it does what’s stopping someone from somehow getting that IP and hosting a fraud site?

      I think in this case it’d be the user not putting in any sensitive data or downloading executables to run from an internet radio.

      The same thing that stops people from getting access to your domain registration and changing the IP. You have a contract with your provider (ISP or DNS) which says that you own that IP/Hostname.

      Your home IP address changes, but most business or commercial accounts are given a static IP address (or blocks of IP addresses) which never changes.
