now maybe later it will come to me something along the lines those Chinese industrial espionage spys were running ie targeted spamsploits this just makes that easier than it should be but there

I always considered a 'chink' to be a fairly small hole. A large security hole might be better named 'gaping hole', 'huge crack', 'chasm', 'wound', 'maw' or perhaps 'abyss' depending on required levels of hyperbole and FUD.

I'm sure in time this may be something to worry about, but right now, I'd say it's a minor risk.
According to http://www.hsbc.com/1/PA_1_1_S5/content/assets/csr/2006_hsbc_cr_report.pdf HSBC had 300,000 employees worldwide in 2006. Of these, the tool managed to find 2.

Won't that prove to be something of a major restriction, given the relatively small number of actual PGP users? Wouldn't a search against the email addresses of NIC handles given in whois responses or those in DNS SOA records provide a larger sample of people? Seems to me though that the people most likely to be affected are in a technical role, so with a bit of luck are less likely to fall for the scams intended for them.
