If you'd read through to section 3.1 you'll see that they detail the iOS and Android bootstrap mechanisms. The title doesn't specifically identify which OS was infiltrated though in this case it was iOS.

I'm guessing the reason why iOS exploits receive more face-time is: 1. Apple has advertised their phones as being at the forefront of security, which holds some merit. 2. iPhones have become commonplace among government employess (possibly as a result of point 1). Political exploits are inevitably more in the public eye if it's the tool of most politicians.

It's the same concept as the early days of Microsoft being the powerhouse of consumer operating systems- everyone was using it making it the most lucrative to exploit.

Not sure if I’m alone in this but at this point I’m just assuming there are new Android exploits on a rolling basis so if I did read about one I probably wouldn’t consider it news-worthy.
