Definitely CAT 1. A successful DoS attack that's still ongoing and can't be mitigated? That's a major incident that needs to be reported ASAP.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if a DoS attack falls under CAT 2 or CAT 1. I better review the incident categories again.

I agree with Bev, CAT 1 makes more sense given the severity of the incident.

I disagree, I believe it falls under CAT 1 because it's a DoS attack on a US Federal Agency network.
