They never state whether it’s iOS or android, which is frustrating
I tracked down a few different versions of the story on the web, but I couldn’t find any indication of iOS of Android. I’m assuming Android, though - doesn’t Apple control ads on their platforms? Because Google is fingered as one of the ways these ads are being distributed…

Any way to tell if a phone has been affected (for both iOS and android?)
