That's true in theory. But what about laptops for example, which are
more and more used as desktop replacements also in offices?

Alberto, that has been going on for at least 10 years without adding any
new security risks.

You need SMB for sharing files and printers when at office, where
probably your internal network is safe, but you use the same network
interface when your are elsewhere, which is probably not safe.

If you are in an corporate environment with a laptop, someone (i.e. the
sysadmin) will sort our the issues for you. (for himself rather).

I think Jan was spot on with "If it is not safe, you will not use SMB!".
