Favicon

Hi,
A Concrete5 site I had worked on previously was hacked today. It appears they got in through the server (my guess...since all three domains on one account were hit). Anyway, they attacked the index.php page which was easy enough to cut and replace the code...but the hacked favicon is still there. Where would that be stored in the files? I want to delete it off the server, but I can't find it. Previously, there wasn't one.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the reply, but I know to look for a .ico file. I can't find one. My question is where is it typically stored on the server when one uploads the .ico file in the dashboard?
look on the source code (output) of your page
then look at the lines like:
then look at the lines like:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www....../application/files/9514/2339/9598/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
think it might even link to a file on their server now ....
Thanks! That sounds like it should help, however I nothing pops up when I search the page for "ico" (other than the hamburger icon since the class = "icon-bar").
The newer site is simplypink.org. Perhaps, I'm being daft...it happens. If you see the red icon on the bookmark tab you'll see there is definitely one there.
