It is a blend of "cyber" and "cop," used to describe someone who aggressively polices online spaces by enforcing rules or lecturing others on proper behavior. People typically use it as a mild insult for overzealous users who act like unofficial moderators, such as "Thanks for the warning, cybercop." The term originated in 1990s forum and chat room cultures.
