Being as it's from last year, and the scheme was launched in January, I've no idea if they are still using it or if twitter has just blown a gasket over nowt.

I doubt it, it's most likely from any one of a number of 'stock photo libraries' used by graphic designers, etc.

Someone posted somewhere (twitter?) that it's a photo from North America, don't know whether it was a generic agency pic though.

Tbh I thought ‘cyber’ was some sort of porn cam thing, (“do you do cyber?’) which made the advert look several magnitudes more dodgy. Though I suspect such a career move would be seen as a positive outcome by a lot of tories.

They're basically part of GCHQ and the term is one of those things I think we can't escape now. We had the chance 10/20 years ago but blew it.

It was a term for chat based sex around the early-2000s.
