Adding Security questions to quiz site

What general issue would you like to create?

developerquiz.org currently has over 600 quiz questions. We are looking to expand on the security questions and we encourage other developers to add their quiz questions to the site.

You can find the complete list of security questions below. https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/Developer_Quiz_Site/blob/main/src/data/security-quiz.ts

You can add your own questions to the top of that file. Please first check to make sure your question doesn’t already exist in the file before creating a PR.

Here is an example format for the questions.
