My money is on CAT 1. Can't get more critical than a DoS attack that's still wreaking havoc on the network. Time to call in the big guns!

Ha! I bet the agency's IT team is having a rough day. But hey, at least they're following the reporting guidelines. I'm going with CAT 1 on this one.

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.
