Meltdown and Spectre can affect personal computers, mobile devices, server and several cloud services.
Actually, the only way to minimize those security risks is to patch your operating systems or the hypervisor level (if you are using virtual machines).

Meltdown and Spectre are critical vulnerabilities existing in several modern CPU: these hardware bugs allow programs to steal data which is currently processed on the computer. Meltdown and Spectre can affect personal computers, mobile devices, server and several cloud services.
Depending on the bug, the affected CPU are Intel processors (since 1995!), some AMD CPUs, and several ARM-based Samsung and Qualcomm system-on-chips used for mobile phones.
