SMB is completely inherently insecure. It does not encrypt traffic, so it can only be used in a LAN, relying on company firewall. Password encryption can be bypassed with widely available programs, such as l0pthcrack. Sharing files on a Windows box opens it to many exploits. Even though it is a lot harder to crack into a linux, Samba cannot make SMB secure.
If you are looking for a good way to share files, consider some other options, such as lufs, afs or webdav.
