Why not be part of the solution? Leave a comment on that website article with some better suggestions. Write an email to the author educating them on better advice to give an executive seeking to avoid breaches.

Good point. I concur.

Comment on IPV6 + MAC addresses + Geolocation = Privacy fail by Angel One

Google is not collecting MAC addresses of machines (at least as far as i know) – just routers. Whether that MAC address will be part of the IPV6 Address will all depend on if and how the vendors implement autoconfig for home routers.

Are you sure Google collected MAC addresses of computers as well? That would not make a lot of sense: I take it on the road. Surely, Google (also) harvested MAC addresses of wireless access points. But such MAC addresses are NOT in an IPv6 address (while indeed the MAC address of a computer might be).

@Anonymous Looks like it was. And quickly too – I posted on Friday at 2, cleaned up by Monday at 8:30. (My sympathies go out to whatever engineer had to work through the weekend).

Not necessarily- While I don’t have an example handy, I believe I’ve seen some routers where the internal and external MAC addresses differ by 1. I suspect it depends on the make and software of the router.

Ack – I actually just realized an even bigger flaw. When running a traceroute you’ll get the outside interface of the router. The wireless AP will be running on the inside interface.

OTOH, if the outside interface is using autocnofig (possible in home routers), you should be able to tell easily from the IP address what brand it is.
