It looks like the hackers took over the entire WordPress installation, but didn't modify the file: http://peoriapundit.com/favicon.ico More specifically, web browsers look for a file called favicon.ico at the root level of a website to get that little graphic.

I woke up at about 10:30 a.m., got a call from my brother and he took me out to lunch. I went from there to my sister's house, to home and checked my mail and saw three e-mails, but the site was back to normal by then. You've gotta love hackers who are polite enough to clean up after themselves. I still changed all my passwords and backed up all my data, but I doubt it will do any good should they decide to do it again. I didn’t sleep through it.

On each tab\webpage you open, it lists the website & most of the time a small graphic, ie Ebay has their Ebay graphic. Guess which graphic showed up next to Hacker's Child? City of Peoria..... Wish I was computer savvy enough to "take a picture of it". I'll just save it in case anyone is curious. What is interesting is that I have the Yahoo\IE browser that has tabs.
