Halle Berry has learned the hard way that even an Oscar can't insulate against racism.

New York's Daily News reports that a hacker broke into the "Monster's Ball" star's website (www.hallewood.com), defaced her picture with a moustache and beard, made a reference to rival Nicole Kidman, and left a reference to the racist Ku Klux Klan.

Berry's webmaster took down the site and added additional security measures to prevent further hacking. On Thursday, the site appeared to be back up and running as normal.

For her part, Berry was unconcerned about the cyber attack.

"It sounds very juvenile and child-like," her representative told The Daily News.

"It's like what we used to do as children with Magic Markers."
