SMB:BruteForce

Issue abstract: Multiple SMB:BruteForce intrusion attempts from device on local network

Detailed description: I have recently started getting 20-30 SMB:BruteForce intrusion events on my Windows PC, blocked by Norton, in the space of a couple of seconds. They happen at different times of day, but usually in the early morning. The source IP address is another Windows device on my local network. I also have Norton 260 installed on this device and had done a full scan for threats on it.

Product & version number: Norton 360 version 24.12.9725 (build 24.12.9725.0)

OS details: Windows 10 Home build 19045.5247
