In other words, if you have internet and you're using NAT then unless you have done some complicated stuff (port forwarding) you're probably safe.
If you have internet and you're using IPv6 then unless you have done some complicated stuff (enabling a firewall) then you're probably not safe.
I guess eventually IPv6 enabled routers will come with a firewall enabled by default but let's not hold out breaths!
