Not really, it was Blofeld.

Yes, but Spectre is an intra-process leak, so the scope is somewhat restricted.
Meltdown is a inter-process leak (and even memory-wide leak, so inter-VM). So a non-admin process on a machine could get access to the memory of admin processes on the same machine or another VM on the same host.
(Caveat: still digesting the info about all of this. Luckily it doesn't affect my work specifically.)
