In the film "Leave the World Behind," an unknown entity orchestrates a cyberattack that shuts down communication and transportation across the US to destabilize the country. However, cybersecurity experts argue that such a sophisticated and large-scale attack is highly unlikely to happen in real life due to the difficulty of coordination and execution. While localized disruptions in cellphone networks or navigation systems may be possible, a nationwide attack of this magnitude is considered improbable. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of such an operation is debatable, as finding vulnerabilities across multiple sectors would require extensive reconnaissance and resources.
