I'd rather just call them "criminals".

The "cyber" prefix is generally unnecessary, and sometimes even misleading.

Add to your favorite text substitution add-on the mapping "cyber" -> "spider" and you'll be less annoyed at its pervasive use.

I recall a browser extension that replaced all instances of "cloud" with "butt" (or something like that)...

Maybe it's time for an update? :)

Yeah but reporting on "cybercrime" sounds a lot more glamorous than reporting on "crime."
