There was a time when you could SMB mount shares from servers at MS over the public internet (and e.g. do things like download alphas and betas that were not visible on the ftp server).

I remember early Bitcoin exchanges that had everything stolen because they left all of their unencrypted private keys on SMB shares that were left visible to the Internet. IIRC this is what finally took down MtGox, almost 20 years after the release of Windows 95. Some people never learn.
