As I understand it, this is a Windows thing. So unless you’re running BootCamp, it shouldn’t affect you directly. That said, viruses, malware, trojans, etc can be spread via email whether you’re on a Mac or not. I don’t know if this one falls into that category. I run a virus checker that also checks for Windows viruses not so much to prevent Mac viruses, but to try to make sure I don’t spread anything to people running Windows.

I vaguely remember wresting with SMB and Samba servers or printers and crap in like the late 90s or early 2000s. Man that was a steaming pile even back then.
I wonder if it’s a buffer overrun or what
