This is where 'cyber' comes from. It's not "stupid".

Ah, cheers, forgot about that one. I'm not saying the word "cyber" is generally stupid but the use as a pop culture prefix is... problematic and misleading in my view if you'd prefer other terms. It's just used as theatrics from the type of people that classify getting hit by ransomware due to unpatched systems as some APT, at least everywhere I see it.
