Can static IP addressing prevent IoT botnets

Question

I’ve read that some IoT botnets rely on dynamic IPs to evade detection. Would using static IPs help prevent IoT botnet attacks?

• Do botnets mainly target devices with dynamic IPs, or does it not matter?
• Could static IPs make it easier to monitor and detect suspicious activity?
• Are there downsides to using static IPs from a security perspective?

Looking for clarification on whether IP addressing strategy affects IoT botnet risks.
