Why re-enable SMB1 ?

[RobinP]

• If SMB1 has been ditched by microsoft as a security risk that enables ransomware attacks, why are people enabling it to use the usb port of the BThub to add flash/hard drives? Am I missing something or does the hubs security protocols make it safe to do so? If so is it safe to use for file sharing between devices connected to the hub?

Not sure what security risk there is with connecting 2 devices within your home via SMB1 through usb ports.

I was curious after searching 'SMB1' and reading a quite in-depth article posted on Microsoft Community hub entitled ' Stop using SMB1'. I just wondered if anyone definitely knew whether or not using it via the hub through the usb port was actually secure. Hope so, would be very useful. 🙂
