I really doubt if you have been hacked if you are behind a firewall and you
enforce the use of complex passwords. Like I said those anonymous logon
events are normal if file and print sharing is enabled even if no one has
accessed the server. If your firewall blocks access to file and print
sharing ports, then no untrusted user would be able to use them to attempt
to access your server. --- Steve
