How did you manage that feat?
Basically assuming "safe" then taking actions to subvert that, namely
mounting an SMB share within the VM. rm(1) does not discriminate. My
own fault obviously but it's notable that the "virtual environment ==
safe" assumption was shattered so effectively, so easily, and by
actions which in most circumstances would be benign.
Poking holes in parachutes has been known to impair their function,
