You often see words that some people write with a hyphen while others don't. Two words that are associated often start as two words, then get a hyphen as the association becomes stronger and more established, sometimes ending up as a single word. The spelling of relationships is wrong. I think it looks better with the hyphen, but cyber can be both an adjective and a prefix.
