Most, if not all, mining pools use cloudflare to protect them against such attacks. Has it always worked? It does...most of the time. Nothing on that grand of a scale has been tried(that I'm aware of) though. DDoS attacks, botnets, and anything you can imagine, have been an epidemic across pools and exchanges. I wouldn't not be shocker if the government could pull it off, but that's about it.

Outside of actual miners inadvertently doing it themselves.

What if the government is a significant portion of the miners, and it does it intentionally from within several pools simultaneously? Wouldn't an attack from within be simpler, and have a greater chance of success?
