Internet security is pwned by organisations powerful enough to hack into CAs or simply buy one and run them as a covert operation impersonating any site they want by issuing certificates trusted by all web browsers. Internet security broken by design of centralization. Thus if you have IP A you will get fake certificate generated by government owned CA, if you have IP B you will get to the real site. If you are IP A you will get pwned by MITM attack malware the site will look genuine to the browser. |

The mitigation for the attack you outlined is that such attacks will be detected, and the CA will get blacklisted. That may not actually work in the real world.
