Community Highlights, Week 41, '22

More of a midweek update this week, but a quick FYI to let you know that going forward I'm adding a section at the bottom to recognize some of our more active members over the past week. I'm always looking for ways to recognize and reward the healthy behaviors that make our community such a helpful place, so if you've got other ideas please let me know in the comments. 

Since there's a lot of Cybersecurity Awareness Month content this month and we don't want it to get lost, here's a quick list of the past week's security content before I call out individual user posts below:
