Search engines light up as users seek information and conspiracy theories abound.

Update, 12:46 p.m. ET: The bad guys know that people are interested in this search term, and appear to have latched on to it already. I’d advise readers to be extremely careful about randomly clicking on every link returned in a Web search for “pifts.exe”: Some of the top searches (currently the 3rd and 4th result in a Google search) are Web sites that try to install malicious software when you visit them.
The comments under Brian Krebs article are worth a read.
