cybergeist

"Cyber" for computer related; "geist" is German for "ghost", as in "poltergeist".
I created this word to refer to the maddening array of problems we all encounter with our computers that seem to defy explanation, even from frighteningly intelligent information technologists, and which are usually inexplicably "fixed" by rebooting the computer. Thus, a malicious ghost in the computer.
I can't find an explanation", said the computer repair tech after an hour's investigation. "What can I say, it's another cybergeist."

Cyberist 

A person who is immersed in internet culture and involved in things having to do with the internet. A cyberist generally has a hipster style of dressing, but despises hipsters. Cyberists enjoy internet sensations such as homestuck, anime, web comics, pokemon, portal, and various other popular games similar to those. One does not talk about cyberist culture, as it is generally socially unacceptable to like the things cyberists like.
"Did you see that cyberist over there? She kept talking about anime and homestuck and other internet things"
