Cyclocross bikes have been around for awhile. They take attributes from different kinds of bikes. In recent times they have evolved even further taking cues from modern mountain bikes. Especially brake systems from mountain bikes, discs, v-type brakes, even hydraulic rim brakes. A second set of brake levers mounted on the bar tops so you can brake on the tops.

A cyclocross bike is definately a "hybrid."
