I have several hundred 404 Shield blocks within a day, from what looks like a MAC Address. My understanding is MAC address are local on the network and not from external devices/locations. What does this mean? Do I have an internal hack?

Can you help explain this please, and advise if I need to be worried?

Thanks

That's not a MAC address; that's an IPv6 address.
