Used as a joke or reference whenever politicians' 'cyber' buzzword comes up.
A short German satirical clip from Jung & Naiv at 32C3 mocking the German government's overuse of the word 'cyber'. It mixes press conference footage with jokes.

May I interest you in some cyber? [this video] (better if you understand German) I think we are in the process of re-appropriating the word actually.

And I think that is fantastic social commentary on the word.
I think the CYBER thing is a joke from the German part of the internet. Our government (and companies alike), liked to cyber-everything. Cyber as a word alone or prefix became a joke and that might be the origin. Have a look at this cybervideo for example: [this video]
