Just think of the volume of finance and commerce conducted daily over the internet. What effect would a significant and immediate interruption of these transactions have on world finance and markets? Remember the impact of 9/11 on the financial world? Depending on the method and scope of such an attack, they could bring major financial centers to their knees in the blink of an eye.
That said... it would be very difficult to pull off. But remember that the black hats and white hats are engaged in constant warfare. I used to run a checking and ATM processing center... industry knowledge has converted me to hold cash and tangible assets.
