Is there known instances of this attack? For me it sounds like Sci-Fi.

It's routine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_boot_attack

I don't know how often forensics teams bother freezing the memory; it's not always necessary.

It's routine in the lab. If you can get into a CloudFlare cage there may be much more powerful attacks than stealing DIMMs.
