I haven't had that issue on Ubuntu 12.04 and my only suggestion is to
see what [Virtualbox homepage] says, which you have done.

[Virtualbox homepage]:https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

```
What to do when experiencing The following signatures were invalid:
BADSIG ... when refreshing the packages from the repository?

# sudo -s -H
# apt-get clean
# rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
# apt-get clean
# apt-get update
```
