I think developed countries, but US in particular, are more vulnerable to cyber attacks than developing countries (with possible exception of China). Many of the developing countries still have manual processes and controls in place, given how unreliable electricity and internet are in those places. So a large scale cyber attack while causing severe damage, would be unlikely to bring a developing country to its knees.
I couldn't say the same of the US. Simple ransomwares have stopped entire hospital systems and cities from functioning. Imagine what a large scale attack could do.
