iPhone has most vulnerabilities, so why is Android the most attacked?

The biggest story in malware right now is mobile malware. The shift from traditional mobile phones that simply made phone calls to smartphones containing gigabytes of data has made the
pocket-sized computers a prime target for attackers.
There was a 32 percent increase in the number of documented vulnerabilities for mobile operating systems and, not surprisingly, a 58 percent increase in mobile malware and
Android smartphones and tablets are the hottest targets.
