I would rather be safe than sorry when it comes to using boxes from sources I don't know and trust. If I don't know the author and they haven't published a link to a public Git repo I pass and keep looking.
That being said, I do wish HashiCorp would establish stricter standards for making boxes publicly available through their service. At the very least I'd like to see valid contact info for the author and ideally a link to a public Git repo for the source.
