What's the potential impact from Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities to Masternodes running on VPS or Cloud platforms?

tldr; if you had coins in a Masternode hosted on shared VPS they're probably already gone (should have used a Dedicated Instance)

Too bad DashCore never got around to making Masternode blinding work.  Now Dash users have to worry about zombie Masternodes controlled by Spectre invading their privacy and stealing their coins. Undecided
