Hi @TazWake in the context of another HTB user compromising your box. From the HTB page “Use it responsibly and don’t hack your fellow members…”. and this How to be safe on HTB - Off-topic - Hack The Box :: Forums
“We strongly recommend not to use your production PC to connect to the HTB Network. Build a VM or physical system just for this purpose. HTB Network is filled with security enthusiasts that have the skills and toolsets to hack systems and no matter how hard we try to secure you, we are likely to fail 
We do not hold any responsibility for any damage, theft or loss of personal data although in such event, we will cooperate fully with the authorities.”
I don’t know enough about the new service to make that determination.
For further context, I use a Kali VM because of the tools but to also isolate my host while doing HTB.
