Yes. As I said, same general sorts of risks for the most part as in IPv4. Details differ, but same general types. My point was that it's mostly FUD to wave the flag of scary new security weaknesses with no mitigations in IPv6. It's the same general sort of first hop and link security issues that exist in IPv4 with similar mitigations. Not identical, but not radically different or new either.
While the mitigations may not exist yet (like proper firewalls in CPE to protect GUA'ed devices in the home), it still a good idea to bring the risks to light so folk can think about how to get them fixed. Mark.
