No idea. I'd assume the probability is currently very low due to the limited number of users. The utilization density is likely not great enough to attract much attention. This would certainly vary based on where you live / work (out in the sticks versus downtown).

Still, what is currently a low probability is going to grow. Low-density defense is why so few Mac computers had virus issues - it was more productive to go after the greater number of PCs. That's changing, however, and people who developed the habit of thinking "It's a Mac, so I don't worry" are now getting bit.
