Consensus seems to be that it would be difficult for them to pull off, but this type of thing could be devastating for worldwide internet services in the future.

The internet's decentralized nature helps a lot to mitigate this risk, but this type of attack could hypothetically even hasten the switch to satellite-based services ala Starlink.
