They are not so wrong... ;)
As a first information source, you can have a look on Secunia.Com - which
provides useful information based on CVE for various operating systems,
appliances or network devices.
Some other respectable sources bases of that kind exists, like the CERT

There are a number of possible reasons for this.
1) the attackers have realised that
By the way, the numbers really are low...
We're probably somewhere between 1% and 5% of the hosts actually running
FreeBSD (guessing).
If this number does not increase by a factor of ten, then this technique won't
do much good... I wonder if the statistics where made for the number of hosts
