Sorry. I have never heard of this. I switched to VB earlier this year for simple home use testing apps and working with large data sets. VMWare Fusion just caused me to many problems. Can you explain how I need to protect myself?
If you’re a home user, and you’re sitting behind an IP address provided by a residential ISP, Oracle isn’t going to be bothering you.

I don't think the purpose of the conversation matters. It's about if/how you fake your identity and what information/access you collect. That's why I bring up phishing personal info to send a gift basket. Despite flipping the purpose on its head, it's still phishing.
The misrepresentation of the purpose is what brings it into phishing territory. By misrepresenting the purpose, you're also misrepresenting who you are and what your intentions are. Something that's already phishing will still be phishing even if the purpose is misrepresented. Something that isn't otherwise phishing, however, can be made into something akin to phishing by misrepresenting the purpose.
Incorrect. It's not about purpose. It's about misrepresenting who you are. Oracle is saying they are Oracle. If Oracle is pretending to be someone else, than it's phishing.
What you are describing is not phishing. It's just regular old fishing.

I have a devops guy trying to push me to use Vagrant at the moment, but I am aware of these issues with virtualbox. I was thinking about using one of the lxc shims, but now you have me curious, how useful is openshift in that "I want to spin local vms up for testing" approach? I thought it was much more geared to server and not workstation, as opposed to vagrant. Of course others are right, virt-manager is probably a…
Out of curiosity, what feature in the extension pack are you using with Vagrant?
I'm unable to find anything about the vboximg-mount utility in the documentation, except in the release notes.

But I wonder why the section 6.11 about vboximg-mount is missing on the .org version of the manual:

The extension pack is extremely easy to download by accident: for instance, it comes in the default Chocolately installation unless you pass a flag to disable it. With Oracle actively going around and sending threatening letters to enterprises with extensions download traffic coming from their IP blocks, it's easy to accidentally get in a bad situation.
This is separate from the guest extensions ISO image, right? What kind of functionality do the extensions discussed here cover?
