In fact, hiding behind NAT gives you about 17 million potential addresses. Anybody trying to get info on your computer or network has to first find the needle in the hay stack.
IPv6 offers each business client a block that's 300 million times larger than that. Suddenly the haystack is much much bigger. Home users will probably have just as much obscurity because the ISP will potentially have a block that big for it's clients.
Proponents of not switching to IPv6 because of NAT's "security" are doing themselves a diservice (sp).
