b. denial - of - service attack.

Explanation:

Denial - of - service -

It is a type of attack, where the hackers tries to prevent the legitimate users from using the service.

The strategy used in this case is, the attacker sends a lot of messages or mails asking the network for authentication.

Hence, same is the case with Woori, it suffered from a denial - of - service attack.
