Windows 2000 Server Message Block ("SMB"😉 is a NetBIOS protocol widely used in Windows networking to share files, printers, and other services. A new hacker tool, SMBRelay, exploits several legacy security options embedded in the NetBIOS/SMB protocols that would allow an attacker to interpose between the client and host, and "hijack" a secure session." Other than port filtering, the only way to secure exposed NetBios host-client communication is to enable SMB Server Signing.
The how-to/fix is here.
